1930’s Ladies Cossack Style Coat and Cap Knitting and Crochet Pattern

The Russian Influence, it’s very warm, very wearable and very chic! It would be hard to find
anything more 1930’s, than this stylish coat, worn with a black skirt, the effect is completed
by the dashing little cossack cap. It’s beautifully warm and not such a lengthy piece of
knitting as it looks, since the wool used is thick. The little feathered Cap is crocheted.

Original materials used Coat and Cap: 2lb. 6 ozs. (1100g) of “Zig-Zag” Sports Wool, 8 ozs.
(227g) of “Kanastra” wool. A pair No. 8 (4mm), No. 7 (4.5mm) and No. 5 (5.5mm) Beehive

(86g) of “Kanastra” Wool. A No. 9 (3.75mm) “Inox” crochet hook.
A feather to trim.

The ply of these wools is unknown, however based on tension, they are likely a D.K or
Aran weight Astrakhan yarn. Check the tensions before purchasing wools, as this is
merely a guess as I haven’t knitted it myself.
