Great little coat. Felt awkward knitting with 2 yarns together at first but it wasn't as bad as I first thought. What caught me out was not reading the pattern through first. I missed the bit where it said the right side was the purl side of stocking stitch. So rather than pull it back I made up my own design instead of the leaf design (as it doesn't work on the smooth side of stocking stiitch). I'm used to the UK way of doing things so found this a bit harder. At the end of a decrease stage it tells you how many stitches you should have left in the UK but this one doesn't. Also it doesn't say how many stitches to pick up around the neck area for the collar, so I had to guess that. In all, I was pleased with it and will knit it again at some point exactly to pattern.
