Finley is a textured Gansey-style coat designed for both boys and girls. The hood, long length, and turned cuffs make it warm and functional as well as beautiful. For the knitter, Finley offers rich texture and classic cabling. The entire coat is worked from the bottom up and utilizes traditional gusset shaping at the underarms and neckline. The continuous front moss stitch bands paired with the gusset shaping means there is minimal finishing and the overall textures and cables remain undisturbed throughout the knitting. Skill level is Experienced.
