Hooded Big Coat Pattern

Combine bulky yarn, big needles and garter stitch to get an ultra-squishy coat that you will want to wear everyday! Although it is a larger scale project, the Hooded Big Coat can still be knit up in no time at all. With dropped sleeves and deep cuffs, a generous hood and a longer length that reaches almost to the knees - everything about this coat adds up for an comfy fit. Knit in pieces, this classic coat will be your favorite season after season. Pattern from Knitting Simple Jackets.
