Coat Tavita by Pascuali Designs

Craft: Knitting

Tavita is worked seamlessly top down. Knitting starts by shaping the neckline with short rows. At the same time, decreases are made along the raglan seams to form the shoulders. While the body is knitted in rows, the sleeves are knitted in the round. The pattern is made up only of knit and purl stitches. A broad two-coloured horizontal ribbing defines the edges of both sleeves and body. The coat can be closed with a belt knitted in the contrasting colour.

Sizes:

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows:
XS (S; M; L; XL; XXL; XXXL) = 29 (32; 35; 39; 42; 47; 52)‘‘ / 74 (82; 90; 98; 107; 119; 131) cm bust circumference (measured at your body).

The A-line shaped coat has a tight fit with the front parts overlapping a bit. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 35“ (90 cm), then knit the coat in size M and the front parts will overlap by around 2.75’’ (7 cm).
