The Teddy Coat is worked from the top down using a drop shoulder construction. First the upper back is worked by using short rows, then stitches are picked up to form the shoulders and the neck opening is worked by using simple increases. The body is joined under the arms and the coat is formed by working increases along the sides to create a subtle A-line shape. Stitches are picked up around the neck edge for the collar. The collar of the coat is worked in double knitting and both wrist and body trims are worked with an i-cord bind off. You have the option of working in pockets at the side which you can choose to seam together to create a faux pocket or, instructions are given to knit in a pocket lining with a fingering weight yarn. Buttons are attached at the end and they will be held in place by a short loop of crocheted chain stitches.

I’m Angi, the mum and knitter behind My Dear Poppet. I live in Berlin with my husband and three children. We’re an English-German family and there’s no day we don’t call one of our babies ‘poppet,’ inherited from our British parents and grandparents. Knitting for my little ones is just like dressing them in my warmest hug. Knowing they’re wrapped in natural fibres my own hands have formed seems to just keep a piece of me snuggled around them even if there is a time when I can’t be with them.

I hope you enjoyed making the TEDDY Coat. Find more patterns on www.mydearpoppet.com.
