Craving a comfortable and approachable outerwear project? Baz is an unlined, knee-length wrap coat with a relaxed fit and so many different fabric options.
The shaped shawl collar is finished with a facing, and there’s a single patch pocket with a clever side opening, so you can pick up some fun new sewing skills as you make this coat. Choose medium or heavyweight knits or wovens, such as sweatshirt fleece, ponte, French terry, boiled wool, wool, coating, boucle, mohair, and heavy sweater knits.

Fabric & Fit
Fabrics to shop: You can use either knits or wovens for this pattern, but remember that this coat is unlined. Look for sweatshirt fleece, ponte, French terry, boiled wool, wool, coating, boucle, mohair, or sweater knits.
Notions: Get creative with your drawstring. You can use cording, twill tape, or even a shoe lace.
Fabrics to avoid: Avoid very lightweight fabrics for this coat, as the shawl collar, length, and pockets will pull down on the fabric too much to maintain the silhouette.
Fit: Baz has a relaxed fit, with plenty of ease for comfort, movement, and wearing as a layer in colder weather.
