    About

    A warm winter jacket which is smart enough to wear on formal occasions as well as being comfortable is an essential
    for me. I'm too tall for most retail
    jackets, so I decided to knit my own. I purchased the yarn in November, and finally able to make a start today.
    I chose the yarn I'm using because it has a lovely texture.
    Although the pattern suggests single point needles, I used 9mm and 10mm circular knitting needles as it made the garment easier to hold.
    Unfortunately the jacket turned out a bit bigger than I expected, but the length is perfect and it's very cosy.

    Update Oct 6th 2019 - I have altered the coat to a side fastering coat with a button under the right collar.
