Magnolia Lace Coat

Enjoy springtime sweetness year-round with this intriguing lace crochet coat — it looks intricate, but is actually easy to make! Single petals are worked into the netted top and sleeves, while cascades of flowers bell gracefully into the skirt and sleeve cuffs. Its refreshing beauty is sure to delight the lucky wearer, especially when made in her favorite color! Done in lightweight yarn and trimmed with coordinating ribbon, this splendid piece will add a touch of spring to both casual and formal attire.

In updated version of Magnolia Lace Coat pattern, were fixed typos in Body and Skirt sections and this pattern has been re-edited by professional tech editor. And by request of international customers, now all measurements and list of materials are provided in both USA and metric systems of measurement.
