Betsy Ray

Introducing the Betsy Ray coat, a delightful blend of nostalgia and modern functionality, inspired by the beloved *Betsy-Tacy* series by Maud Hart Lovelace. This enchanting design is perfect for young girls, capturing the whimsical spirit of childhood while seamlessly integrating practical elements that every parent appreciates. Crafted from the luxuriously soft Malabrigo Twist yarn, it promises not only warmth but also a texture that your child will adore; in fact, my daughter describes it as feeling just like a bunny! The Betsy Ray coat features charming details that elevate its classic silhouette. With long cuffs designed for extended wear, generous armholes accommodating layered styles, and convenient pockets for warming little hands or stashing treasures, this coat thoughtfully combines style with practicality. **Construction Details:** The Betsy Ray coat is constructed flat in one piece from the bottom up, culminating in a clean three-needle bind off at the shoulders. The sleeves are then picked up and worked from the top down in the round, ensuring a comfortable fit and streamlined finish. **Available Sizes:** We offer a range of sizes to fit every little girl, from 2 to 16 years old, with chest circumferences ranging from 21 inches for toddlers to 32.5 inches for older girls. This inclusive sizing makes it easy for you to find the perfect fit as your child grows. **Materials Needed:** Depending on the size you choose, you'll need 4 to 9 skeins of Malabrigo Twist, translating to approximately 510 to 1245 yards. This scrumptious yarn not only enhances the coat's softness but also adds a touch of elegance and style. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner, the Betsy Ray coat pattern is designed to inspire creativity and provide a rewarding crafting experience. Create a timeless piece that your child will cherish for years to come, combining a touch of vintage charm with the practicality of today's demands.
