This delightful take on the double-breasted Trench Coat from Debbie Bliss is knit in moss stitch using Rialto DK. The coat imitates its namesake to perfection using various creative design details such as epaulets, belt, spread collar, and buttoned straps at the cuffs. The jacket is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Debbie Bliss Rialto is an extra-fine Merino that is a dream to work with. This is an excellent yarn for those who enjoy working with a beautiful, classic yarn like pure wool that retains all the softness of those fibers but has a practical element that makes it perfect for casual, everyday wear.
