Coats and cardigans

**Purchase any 2 or more of my patterns at the same time and receive an automatic 20% discount.** These patterns are designed to fit my range of toy animal patterns (the regular 9 inch (23cms) sized ones - not the small or the mini ones). This listing does not include the pattern for the bunnies wearing the clothing. Those are available separately** This pattern contains 3 basic cardigan/jacket/coat shapes. All are made in exactly the same way from the bottom up in separate pieces that are then joined at the neck by the collar/hood. The sleeves are picked up from the armhole edges and worked from the top down, using short row shaping to create the raglan sleeve shape: a short waist length cardigan/jacket, a short waist length V neck cardigan and a knee length A line coat. The short cardigan/jacket and the longer A line coat can both be made with either a round neckline, a little ribbed collar or a hood. The hood will fit over the head of the animals with smaller ears such as the mole, monkey, cat and bear and for the animals with taller ears it looks nice just folded at the back and I've designed it with a curved bottom edge when it's worn in this way. Please note that these garments will only fit the regular sized animals (9 inch) with removable clothing, and not the small size or mini ones. All garments are knitted flat and seamed with 2.75mm (US 2) needles and 4ply/fingering weight yarn. ....................................................................

Adding some clarification to the last paragraph on page 7 so that it's clearer that you need to back of the garment facing you when you pick up the stitches for the second sleeve.
