Kristin Nicholas

for Nashua Handknits

NHK36-5 Oversized Colorful Coat
WEB EXCLUSIVE

If you live in an urban area, chances are a lot of your wardrobe is black, or dark, or at least neutrals. Every day setting off to work we can look as if we're attending our own funerals. Let Nicholas bring exuberance and smiles into everyone's day-- make and wear this striking coat. It's worked in one piece to the armholes, then divided for fronts and back; sleeves are set into a defined armhole, but have a flattish cap. The flower design on the sleeves is worked in fair isle; afterwards, Nicholas has you embroider French knots inside each one's perimeter and work the Fern Stitch (follow photo) and lazy daisies around. The result is magnificent and will teach you how to handle compliments. From Nashua Handknits Book 36, North American Designer Collection 7.
