Blue Sky Fibers Aberdeen Coat PDF

The Aberdeen Coat from Blue Sky Fibers is a Scottish-inspired statement piece that will be the star of your handmade wardrobe. Knit this warm, cozy layer that adds dramatic style to any outfit and always looks put together. The Aberdeen Coat begins with the upper body and sleeves being knit flat from the bottom up and seamed together. The waistband is picked up along the bottom edge of the body and worked down in a contrasting color and its cast off provides a structured edge for the skirt to be picked up along. The skirt is worked flat from the waistband down, increasing to create a gentle A-line and ending with contrasting color bands of garter stitch. Buttoned french cuffs on the sleeves and a foldover collar provide the final finishing touches and have you ready to step out in style. Woolstok Tweed Aran offers a range of classic colors to choose from, giving you great options for mixing and matching. This timeless tweed yarn is soft and works up into warm and comfortable finished garments. Choose your favorite shades and cast on your own Aberdeen Coat!
