CABLED COAT WITH COWL

Noro Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2013 #22

Design by Deborah Newton

Two abbreviated cables flank the garter-stitch button band of Newton’s crewneck coat, knit in Noro Obi colorway #8. An overall seed and rib pattern texturizes the body and raglan sleeves, which sport smaller cable accents at the shoulder. The separate buttoned cowl is knit in Debbie Bliss Paloma in a coordinating seed and rib pattern.
