Seil Coat – by Kari-Helene Rane
An intricate and engaging knit, Seil offers something for even the most experienced knitter. Worked top down and with raglan shaping it is fascinating to see the garment grow on your needles. The A-line flared shaping is cleverly hidden in the diamond and cable stitch patterns and makes every row interesting. Although this might not be one for knitting in front of the TV, the pattern quickly becomes intuitive. The finished piece will be a beautiful garment to wrap up in for winter and a stunning replacement for a coat in spring or autumn.
