Hello! Thank you so much for purchasing the Piano Man Coat pattern. This long coat has a cool repeating motif of piano keys along the lapel. It was inspired by Elton John's fur coat, which can be seen in his biopic ("Rocketman"). This pattern is entirely made-to-measure, meaning that it will show you how to completely customize the coat (its size, width, length, etc.) based on your measurements! The pattern includes a colorwork chart and row-by-row instructions for the piano colorwork motif of the coat which can be repurposed for other projects (like a piano scarf!). The pattern also includes instructions to create the sleeves either with a ribbed hem or with a strap, for two different sleeve looks!

The pattern uses colorwork crochet techniques, such as carrying yarn as you crochet and switching color yarns throughout the pattern to create the piano key lapel. It uses other more advanced techniques like Joining-As-You-Go (JAYG), working on BLO and FLO, and working in the round, making this pattern perfect for someone with more of an intermediate-to-advanced level.

The pattern uses US crochet terms and inches, but there is an automatic conversion feature to UK crochet terms and cm.

I hope you have fun crafting this coat, and that you enjoy the pattern! If you post your projects based on the pattern on Instagram, feel free to tag me on the post (@rollingyarncrochet), I'd love to see what people make! :)

A HUGEEE thanks to all my testers! You were all amazing <3
