class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>12 stitches (front right \u2013 wider for overlap)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 stitches (raglan)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14 stitches (sleeve)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 stitches

class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Step 2: Raglan Increases (Yoke)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Each right-side row:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>dc to marker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(dc, ch 1, dc) in raglan stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>repeat at all raglan points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn and

has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Step 3: Separate Sleeves<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When yoke is deep enough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>dc across first front<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip sleeve stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain 2\u20134 for underarm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dc across back<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip second sleeve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain

class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Step 4: Coat Body<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option A: Straight Classic Coat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Work evenly in dc rows until desired length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option B: Slight A-Line Flare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase 1 stitch every 5\u20136 stitches every 3rd row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives

Beautiful)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>For a winter coat look, add texture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rib Texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternate rows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Row 1: dc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Row 2: FPdc\/BPdc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basketweave Texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4 FPdc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4

class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Step 6: Sleeves<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Attach yarn at underarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work in rounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>dc around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Decrease every 4\u20136 rows if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finish with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4 rows FPdc\/BPdc ribbing<br>OR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sc rib cuff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make two sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Step 7: Create Double-Breasted Front Bands<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the key feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attach yarn at bottom front edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work 5\u20137 rows of sc or hdc along front edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make the band wide enough to allow overlap (about 1.5\u20132 inches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one side:<br>Create two vertical rows of buttonholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttonhole row:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sc to position<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ch 1\u20132<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>skip same number of stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>continue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat for second vertical row slightly inside the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sew buttons on opposite panel in two neat columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Step 8: Collar (Optional but Elegant)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>For a tailored coat look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attach yarn at neckline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work 4\u20136 rows of hdc or dc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase slightly at corners to create fold-over collar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
