Otter Crest Coat

**Otter Crest Coat: A Transitional Knit with Romantic Charm** Experience sophistication and warmth with the Otter Crest Coat, a stunning transitional knit designed for those chilly mornings. This captivating coat features intricate, crisscrossing cable patterns that deepen its romantic allure while providing cozy protection against brisk weather. Crafted using a top-down knitting technique, the Otter Crest Coat starts with stunning cables that gracefully expand through the yoke. These stunning details cascade downward, creating a flattering silhouette that enhances your figure. The yoke design begins at the back and incorporates additional stitches to shape the scoop of the front neckline and the button bands beautifully. As you progress, the body of the coat is knitted flat until it's divided for the body and sleeves. To ensure a comfortable fit, small gussets are cast on under the arms, allowing the body to continue in one seamless piece down to the hem. Upon finishing the body, the sleeves are knitted directly onto the coat in the round, creating a polished finish. The cuffs feature a lovely strip of the same cable design used in the button band, which is then expertly grafted onto the sleeves. A rolled edge is picked up from one side and knit down to create a refined cuff finish. To complete this gorgeous look, the standing collar is crafted using the same cable motif from the button band and cuffs, and is elegantly sewn to the neckline. Finally, the Otter Crest Coat is adorned with 9 (9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12) ½” buttons and a coordinating decorative clasp, making it an impressive statement piece for any wardrobe. Perfect for cable enthusiasts and knitters looking for a blend of style and functionality, this coat is sure to become a cherished addition to your cold-weather collection. **Notions:** 9 (9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12) ½” buttons; coordinating clasp.
