A Girl Coat


I finally cast off the collar on the coat/cardigan I was knitting for my daughter. And sewed on the buttons. It is knit in a local worsted weight yarn on 5 mm needles. The credit for the idea for this coat goes to Shells who suggested it to me. (She is going to test knit for her daughter's size). I knit a size four so it is a bit large on my three-year old. However, she was so pleased with it, she kept it on for hours, resisting all attempts for it it to be taken off.

I am going to write up the pattern over the weekend and then have it test knit, inshaAllah. And yes, I am looking for a name for the pattern.

  1. First of all, I LOVE it! It is very pretty and looks incredibly cozy! Secondly, I cannot WAIT to test knit it.

    And...I am pretty sure that a good name would be "Sunburst" considering both the color and the patterning on the torso.

  3. I agree with the name idea! What a lovely little coat. When the pattern comes out, I will suggest it to some of my friends, or maybe even make one as a gift--love the construction.
