This little coat and hat set will knit up quickly – it is mainly garter stitch with easy-to-follow cable lines to give it some personality. This doesn’t have to be for little girls, made up in a neutral colour it will make a cozy outfit for little lads as well. You can make it shorter to wear as a jacket, or longer for a knee-length coat. Saraid (pronounced Suh-ray) means “excellent.”
