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.

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.
