“This effective coat is made in jazz knitting in stocking-web stitch (i.e., one row plain and one row purl), with collar and borders in garter stitch (i.e., every row plain). The front and back are made separately and afterwards grafted together on each shoulder. The sleeves are also made separately and sewn into coat.”

Calls for Shetland Floss, 10 oz. putty, 1 oz. each of blue, cherry and brown. No gauge given but the dimensions given in the pattern and number of cast on stitches give 5 sts per inch. Needle size is no. 8; it is not clear whether this is Imperial or American size, since this is an American pattern published in an Australian magazine.
