Create a timeless long knitted coat with beautiful textured detailing, wide front borders, turned-back facings, long sleeves, and a classic collar. This elegant vintage-inspired design has a relaxed, sophisticated silhouette that works beautifully as a statement layering piece.

The original vintage instructions have been carefully rewritten and reformatted into a clean, easy-to-follow modern pattern while preserving the original construction, stitch counts, shaping, and measurements.

PATTERN DETAILS:
• Knitting pattern – not a finished garment
• Size: Women’s 16–18
• Skill level: Intermediate
• US knitting terminology
• Worked flat in separate pieces and seamed
• Two strands of yarn are held together throughout
• Textured 8-row stitch pattern
• Long sleeves
• Wide front borders and turnback facings

GAUGE:
5 stitches = 1 inch
7 rows = 1 inch

MATERIALS:
The original pattern calls for 40 × 1 oz balls of Shetland Floss or Lustre Wool and US Size 6 (4 mm) knitting needles. Because the original yarns are vintage and may be difficult to source today, choose a modern yarn that allows you to achieve the stated gauge when two strands are held together.

This listing is for a DIGITAL PDF KNITTING PATTERN only. No physical coat or finished garment will be shipped.

The listing images are digitally created to present the vintage design in a modern setting and are for visual inspiration. Please follow the written pattern for construction and stitch details.
