Product Details

About the Design: The moment I saw this old, Pueblo frog motif, I was struck by it’s Art Deco feeling. I’ve chosen just 2 main colors to present the image, whose graphic quality is enhanced by the limited color palette! The pattern wraps around the entire coat.

This coat is definitely designed for cold weather - with deep (afterthought) pockets, long collar that folds over or stands up with clasp closure, and snug cuffs, that not only are stranded, but also faced in the Nordic manner. Knit this in a bulky-weight Icelandic wool, and your warmth is assured!

**Yarn: JCA Reynolds’ Lopi, **3.5 oz / 110 yd skeins: 8 skeins Dark Charcoal #0005 (A), 5 skeins Natural White #0051 (B), and 5 skeins Red Rust #0389 (C)

Gauge: 13.2 sts and 18 rows = 4” (10 cm) over patt or in St st using size 10 ndls, and 15 sts and 18 rows = 4” in St st using size 9 ndls or size to give gauge. To save time take time to check gauge.

Substitute Yarn Weight: Bulky. (I have suggested Lamb's Pride Bulky, as a substitute.)

The toggle is really a 2" wide pewter clasp. The buttons used were pewter, as well. Also needed: sewing needle, thread to match color C, pins.
