Olivia Rib and Lace Coat Knitting Pattern

Olivia is a stunning lace knit coat, with draping front panels and a close fitting back. The design incorporates different techniques including lace knit, ribbing and Feather & Fan stitch.  Olivia has a very flattering shape and can also be worn with a belt to emphasize the waist further (pattern for belt included).
