Learning How To Crochet a Coat
Princess Eudora Sports Coat Learning how to crochet a coat: This model is crocheted in yellow Princess Pearl Crochet Cotton size 3, and is quite a heavy sweater. From the illustration you will notice a narrow border or line of white, and this border is also carried around the cuffs and collar. White is also used for the fastening loops. For a lighter weight garment, a beautiful coat can be made with Corticelli Sweater Silk or with Princess Pearl Crochet Cotton Size 5. In each case these instructions might have to be altered slightly in order to give the correct size. In both of these materials one may select for color a beaitiful rose, blue, pink, yellow or lavender, as the fancy may dictate. Any one of these colours will make a very handsome sports coat. The slight fullness at the back is held by a crocheted cord. Materials required: Princess Pearl Crochet Cotton, size 3; 18 balls yellow no. 342.
