Sleeves—Ch 34 sts, to measure 6½ inches (38 sts, size 10). Work border for 1 inch. Work in plain afghan st for 2 inches. Inc 1 st at each end every inch until sleeve measures 11 inches, 52 sts. Work 1 inch even or desired length to underarm. Sl st over 3 loops, work across row to within 3 loops, work back. Sl st over 2 loops, work across row to within 2 loops, work back. *Work 1 row even. Sl st over 1 loop, work row to within 1 loop, work back, repeat from *until 22 loops remain, bind off.
Bands at Front—Starting at neck edge on left front (work border same as border on bottom), *pick up 10 sts (1 st in each row) now inc 1 st by picking up 1 st between next row, repeat from *for (112 sts) or complete length of coat, for 5 rows. On right front starting at bottom, work 2 rows even make buttonholes on next row as follows: pick up 56 loops, *sl st over 2 loops, pick up 8 loops, repeat from *to end of row. Work back chaining 2 sts over those bound off. Work 2 more rows. Sl sts off on 5th row.
Collar—Ch 49, work in afghan st always working first and last 3 sts in border st same as bottom of coat. On next row, pick up 3 loops *inc, pick up 7 loops, repeat from *5 more times, inc, pick up last 3 loops. Continue to inc inside of borders every row and above previous increases every other row, thruout collar, until you have 10 rows. Work 3 rows even in border st, bind off on 3rd row. S c up front of collar.
Sew up seams at underarm and sleeve seams. Sew shoulder seams and insert sleeves into armholes making 2 small pleats on top of sleeve. Sew on collar starting after border and ending before border. Sew on buttons.
HAT
Piece at back—Ch 26 sts. Row 1—Skip 1 ch, *draw up a loop in next ch; repeat from *across foundation ch (26 loops on hook). Wrap, draw thru 1 loop, *wrap, draw thru 2 loops; repeat from *across row. This completes first row. Work 2 more rows in same manner. Row 4—Make a dec as follows: Draw 1 loop thru first 2 vertical loops (a dec) draw up each loop across row, dec last 2 loops. Repeat these 4 rows 5 more times (14 loops on needle). Work 4 more rows, decreasing 1 st at beg and end of every row. *Pick up 1 loop, sl st, repeat from *until all loops are off. Break thread, ch 10, draw up a loop in each ch (10 loops on hook). Complete row. Work 2 more rows. Row 4—Inc 1 st at beg of next row as follows: Y O hook (an inc); pick up each loop across row to within last loop, wrap (an inc), pick up last loop. Repeat these 4 rows, until you have 26 loops. Work even on 26 loops until piece measures 12 inches. Now dec 1 loop on each end. Continue to dec 1 loop on each end every 4th row, until you have 10 loops. Work 3 rows even. Sew these ends tog. Fold back piece in half, mark the center of wide end. Fold long piece in half, mark center. Have markers meet and sew tog. Tack grosgrain ribbon around to fit headsize and make small tailored bow with 2 inch streamers.
