is made from a 13-wedge skirt (7 pointed, 6
simple). So, I wanted to find a substitute yarn that is
more commercially available and the closest I
could find was Red Heart Unforgettable, which
also looks gorgeous for this design. RH
Unforgettable is 100% acrylic, which has the
benefit of zero felting, and being allergy/vegan
friendly. It is also a #4 weight yarn which means
it will gauge differently.
Size small
Gauge: Since the two yarns gauge differently, I
have listed the gauges for each yarn individually
under the materials section. These are using the
6.50 mm hook listed. If you use Unforgettable 10 rows = 2″ in Riot DK
following it’s gauge, you can get a slightly bigger
coat using the same stitch counts listed in the
pattern.
8 sts = 2″ in RH Unforgettable. It’s really more

like 8.5 stitches, but we’re calling it 8 because of
9 stitches = 2″ in Riot DK stretch!

Technique Notes: Tunisian stitch is a wonderful

crochet technique and I love it and highly
recommend learning if you haven’t. But since
this piece uses a simple stitch pattern (it’s just
rows of regular stitches with some increases
and decreases – that’s really it) a different
technique can easily be substituted in. As long
as your stitches match the gauge given, you
could work this pattern in regular single crochet

or regular knit stitch.
It’s also an option to change the hook size for

Front Panel – Right:

The front panels are worked with the length of Front Panel, right, size small
stitches equaling the half of the waistband that
the back panel won’t be taking up. There’s two,
so each panel will be a quarter of the total
waistband stitches. For smalls, 126 / 4 = 31.5.
Since that’s not a whole number, I will round
down to 31 and fudge the seam a tiny fraction.
For Medium, 154 / 4 = 38.5 – again, round down
to 38. For Large, 182 / 4 = 45.5, rounded down
to 45.

Fold the sleeve in half down the length of the
piece. Seam together using a whip stitch,
starting at the flare of the sleeve and moving
toward the shoulder. At the underarm of the
sleeve, leave 23, 30, 37 rows unseamed on
either side. Match the remaining opening to the
front and back panel sides, using the top 4 rows

How did I get the number of rows to leave

unseamed? It’s (8+8) to account for the small
angled part on each side of the front panel, plus
(16+16) to cover the tops of the sleeves, then
(25-8= 17) to cover the portion of the top of the
back panel not already covered by the cap of
the sleeves. This equals 65, but I rounded down
to 64 to get an even number when I halved it –
so 32 rows left unseamed on either side of the
hood.
The hood then is seamed to the collar of the

garment (once all sleeves and everything have
been seamed) using a tapestry needle and a
length of yarn. Whip stitch the hood, matching

Seam the hood around the collar opening,
matching stitch for stitch.
Front Border and Closures

We’re almost done! Next up is to use four rows
of LDC to add a border across the entire front
opening, beginning with the hem, working up
the opening of the garment, going around the
edge of the hood, and working back down the
other side of the front opening. After the third
row, we’ll stop and mark the placement of the
buttons. For traditional buttonholes, stop to
mark the placement after the second row. Using a 3.50 mm hook, join yarn in the side of
the skirt border rows.

when buttoned.
If using a loop closure, chain a loop just big

enough to fit the button through, then slip
stitch in the same stitch. Continue working
LDC’s across the band, stopping to work a chain
loop at any point where a closure is marked.
If making traditional buttonholes, stop LDC and

chain one before a marked stitch. Skip marked
stitch and resume LDC until you reach the next

Mark where your buttons will be on one side,
and mark an equidistant space on the other side
of the border for where you will place your
loops or buttonholes. I began with one
button/closure on the top and bottom edge of
the waist band, then used this measurement
(17 sts between each placement) to space the
other buttons. I made five button placements
total.
Once your button placements have been

marked, begin the rest of the rows.

on the closure side, there are two options: You
can chain a couple stitches and skip over
working a couple stitches, which creates a
buttonhole within the band and a tighter
closure. I opted to use a loop closure for the
