A-LINE COAT

Noro Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2013 #20

Design by Cheryl Murray

Multiple stockinette and gems stitch panels, knit in Noro Kama colorway #10, create different rates of striping and lend structure to Murray’s A-line coat. The panels are joined using a three-needle I-cord bind-off. The collar, worked in garter stitch and shaped using short rows, is knit in Louisa Harding Luzia. A double-ended front zipper keeps the look fresh and modern.
