Polar Coat Junior is knitted bottom up, starting with the body which is worked back and forth till it’s finished. After that you will divide for back and front parts, and finish each part separately, stitches for sleeves are then picked up across the armholes and worked in the round, then sts are picked up to knit the collar.

This coat has approximately 10-14 cm of positive ease.

Please note that any change in gauge or switching to yarn of different composition might not give you the same finished measurements or finished look.
