FID Man's Overcoat

This coat was designed to fit an Iplehouse FID with the Muscle body.
Their measurements are: height 49.5 cm, breast 26.5 cm, waist 19 cm, hip 24 cm, neck 9.5 cm, shoulder width 13.5 cm, arm length 17.5 cm, thigh 14 cm, waist to toe 28.5 cm
The outfit may also fit other dolls with similar measurements.

*Please note, that I'm only providing the pattern templates, without any instructions, so is best attempted by people experienced at sewing. The patterns are templates without any seam allowances, and are meant to be traced onto the wrong side of the fabric. Then the pieces are cut out adding the seam allowances. The traced lines become the stitching lines.

The back vent sides overlap each other...

To make the coat hang properly, the lining should remain loose inside at the waist and at the armholes...

I'm not a fan of trying to make tiny, working buttonholes, and don't like the look of snaps if the coat is worn undone, so just embroidered the 'buttonholes', and the coat will always be worn open.

the Sweater

The coat was designed to fit over a sweater. The knitting instructions for the sweater are HERE

the Scarf

The scarf was knit from two colours of needle-punch yarn, using 2 mm needles. Cast on 25 stitches in main colour. Knit four rows in stockinette stitch (alternating a knit row with a purl row, repeat). After four rows, switch to second colour to make stripe. Knit four rows of each colour, switching to second colour, passing the yarn up the side. Knit 30 stripes in the main colour (59 stripes altogether). Cast off, then use a crochet hook to work the fringe on the ends. Then steam press to soften the threads.
