OGE Knitwear Designs’ Bleu Belle Coat with Matching Hat is a beautiful
knitting pattern that is a stylish coat that is worked in garter stitch with a
lovely yet simple cable pattern running down both fronts and the center of
the sleeves. The jacket and hat would make the perfect warm and cozy cover-up that
is suitable for a little girl or boy for brisk spring or autumn days. Bleu Belle
Coat is knit in one piece from the top down, then placing sleeve stitches on
hold, as they will be picked up after completing the body. The hat is knit in
the round from the bottom up and finished with a fun pom-pom. The cable
pattern is in written form only.
