Notes

Notes:

Model is 5”2 (160cm) with bust size of 29.2’ (74cm) - wearing the Cold Heart Coat knitted in size 1/petite.

Finished measurement

  • Bust (A): 105 cm
  • Yoke Depth (B): 23 cm
  • Total Length in Front (C): 57 cm
  • Sleeve circ (D): 39 cm
  • Sleeve length (E): 33 cm
  • Cuff circ (F): 25 cm

Pattern notes:

1/ Super quick knit but as usual it took me quite a bit because my wrists got tired from working the super chunky yarn.
2/ Very easy to follow pattern and the faux cable work-up is very satisfying to watch.
3/ Super heavy coat. Also, make sure to read the yarn suggestions carefully as different yarn yields very different results. My yarn is actually a weight category 7 - which is JUMBO - and it is very full and fluffy so the stretch wasn’t too noticeable on the yoke of the coat.
4/ Pockets??? Are you kidding me?? We need more pockets.
5/ I added about 7 ridges more on the sleeves because my yarn does not stretch or pull a ton and just maybe that I have extra lanky arms :P I also decided to NOT block my coat.
6/ I also added about 2 inches to the body as I do prefer my coat to cover my butt :P
7/ And so that’s why I used up every last bit of my yarn (serious yarn chicken game).

Overall a surprisingly satisfying knit. I was excited to knit it - then I got even more excited when I put it on afterwards.
100% will recommend to intermediate/very confident beginners because of the many details in the body of the coat.
