Why you'll love it

  • Fringed frontsThe front is machine-sewn and cut open, and the 3 purl stitches on each side are unravelled — the loose strands become a fringe down both edges.
  • Cobweb rufflesThe cuffs and the tall collar are knitted as rib, then one purl stitch of each pair is dropped and unravelled, so the rib opens out into a ruffle.
  • Long and shaped66 to 70 cm from hem to underarm, decreased in at the waist and increased again towards the chest.
  • A ladder up the backA narrow panel of purl and knit stitches runs up the centre back; on the last yoke round its middle stitch is dropped down to the rib.
  • Two looksWarm golden yellow or plain black — the same stitches and the same amounts.

Good to know

Drama — your questions, answered

Can I still buy the colours in the photos?
Yes, both are still made: 9964 golden, the yellow coat on the cover — we sell it as golden heather — and 0059 black for the black coat. Our Drama kit comes in either colour.
Which size should I knit?
Three sizes — S, M and L — with a chest of 88, 97 and 103 cm and a lower edge of 97, 106 and 115 cm. It is long: 66, 68 and 70 cm from the hem to the underarm, with sleeves of 46, 48 and 50 cm. The chest is the finished coat’s measurement with the front edges meeting (it matches the stitch count — our check).
How much yarn do I need?
Álafosslopi in 100 g balls, one colour: 8 balls for S, 9 for M and 10 for L — the same for both versions. Yellow coat: 9964 golden. Black coat: 0059 black.
How are the fringe and the ruffles made?
Both by unravelling on purpose. The round begins and ends with 3 purl stitches at the centre front, purled all the way up. When the coat is finished you sew twice by machine up each side, through the purl stitches next to the knitted fabric, cut between the seams and unravel the purl stitches — the loose strands are the fringe. The cuffs start as 9 cm of rib, one knit stitch (through the back loop) and two purl; then one purl stitch of each pair is dropped and unravelled down to the cast-on, so the rib spreads into a ruffle. The collar is finished the same way.
How does it close?
It is an open coat with no buttons. A 1 m cord is drawn through the neckline; the pattern does not say what kind — in the photos it is thin, brown on the yellow coat and black on the black one. To close it further, the pattern suggests big safety pins or a wide leather belt.
Is there a mistake in the pattern?
Yes, in sizes M and L where body and sleeves are joined for the yoke. The back is printed “K 22 (24) 27 sts, work p2, k3, p2 sts center back, k 22 (24) 27 sts”. To fit the stitch counts the pattern gives — 133 body stitches in M and 141 in L, and 181 and 193 on the yoke — and the chart’s 6-stitch repeat, it should be 23 in M and 25 in L (our calculation). Size S, 22, is right. The materials list also leaves out the sewing machine and thread for the front, stitch holders and a tapestry needle.
How do I get the pattern?
The PDF is emailed to you right after purchase. Nothing is posted. It is in English and has 4 pages: the cover photo of the yellow coat, a page with the materials for both versions, the sizes, the instructions and a photo of the black coat, a page with the yoke chart, and Ístex’s back cover.
