SWEATER COAT

Knit Simple Winter 2010/11 #6
Design by Joan Forgione

This unusual top-down sweater coat with raglan shaping boasts a widely ribbed high collar and front bands that are picked up and knit once themain piece is finished. The cutaway effect is created by cinching the top of the yoke with Icord frog closures; if you want a higher or lower inverted V, adjust the number of frogs accordingly.
