Another seamless coat

| Seamless coat in aran |
This seamless coat idea seems to be nothing new. Rummaging around on the web and I found another pattern for a seamless coat, this time on Ravelry.com by Linden Down and entitled Baby Sophisticate. I have knitted a seamless coat before, complete with a hood and a double-breasted reversible button back, but this one was much similar to make with a shawl collar and just a basic button band.

| Seamless is wonderful |
Last year I knitted an adult's aran cardigan and had some wool left over. It was only one ball but the ball was 400g so that should be plenty to knit a cardigan for a 0-3 month baby.
The principal of seamless is wonderful because I hate sewing these things up. These 'seams' are created with shapings and dividing the stitches for the sleeves and fronts and back, leaving the sleeves to one side and rejoining the yarn to create the body. The sleeves are then knitted in the round on double-pointed needles like tubes. Genius!!
