The Rannoch Moor Swing Coat was named for a boggy moorland of about 50 squares miles located in the Scottish Highlands. The coat is long enough and wide enough at the bottom edge to give you good coverage. The twisted knit panels that run down the front and back are textural evocations of cables and Scottish plaid.
The body of this coat is worked in one piece to the armholes, then the back and fronts are worked separately to the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up and worked down from the armholes, with short-row shaping to shape the cap. The sides are shaped to give the coat an A-line shape, and there is a gusset in the center of the back to allow extra room in the hips.
The stitch pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.
