Festive Greetings!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Progress!

Here's the progress so far on the Circle Coat........ think I'm going to run out of wool :-(
Oh well a good excuse to go wool shopping again!

Clear as mud!

Re: Circle Coat

Afraid that's the best version of the pattern I can find.
It's not too hard, follow the graph (click on image for bigger pictures)

Best way to describe pattern is
Start with 11 tr (US dbl!) in circle.
Next round 3ch (1tr) and 1tr in 1st tr, counts as 2tr) 2tr in each of next tr.
Next round 3ch *(1tr) in first tr, 2 in next tr 1 ch* repeat to end 1ch join with sl in 3rd ch.
Next round 3ch *(1tr) in each of next 2 tr, 2tr in 3rd tr, 1 ch* repeat to end join with sl in 3rd ch.

Next round 3ch *(1tr) in each of next 3 tr, 2tr in 4th tr, 1 ch* repeat to end join with sl in 3rd ch.
continue this pattern increasing on each round untill it is large enough to fit across your back.
Leave space for arm holes by skipping stitches and by making a chain so that you can continue pattern on the next round (Remember to take into account increased stitches and add them on to foundation chain).


I've not got as far as sleeves yet!

It is a quick easy pattern once you understand the idea.
I will try to write up my full version of the pattern after I've had a play with it.
I'll post progress photos too so you can see how it's constructed for those who asked!
