Knit from the top down this raglan coat is easier than it
appears. Even the seed stitch borders are built into the body so
there will be very little finishing and there are no button
holes. A long A-line fit makes it a great choice to wear with
dresses and jumpers. The optional embroidery is made up of basic
stitches that anybody can do.

Designed by Marie of Marie Grace Designs.
Marie Grace, a home-schooling mom of 4, spends most of her time
surrounded by her family, books, and yarn balls. She learned to crochet
when she was very young but didn’t start knitting until she had kids of
her own. Nobody warned her that the desire to knit up a few baby
sweaters could quite possibly turn into a full blown obsession with
fiber.
Years later she’s still knitting and now designing. Kids-wear and
natural fibers are still her favorites and her designs reflect a
classic calm that is totally absent from her real life.
