A Fast project - a new coat in 4-5 days

STITCHER07: This looks and sounds a lot like Red Hearts' Tweed Sweater Coat. I think your problem is the "collar"/neck extensions. There's one coming off the right front and one on the left; one end of these should be straight and are sewn together and this seam needs to line up with the center stitch of the back. It's then sewn to the back neckline. I'll send you the US version if you like (PDF). Got "Blue Wave", all 8, nice feel...Other experiences with this pattern: 1) You might want to use the "back bump" for the foundation & 1st row. Since it's a drop-shoulder sleeve construction, the fabric is reversible but the foundation chain isn't. 2) Keep the sc soft - if you pull them to tight you'll have lots of little gaps that let in cold wind 3) The pattern does not allow for pockets - just leave a gap in the side seam so your can get your hands into your pant's pockets 4) coat has no closure - I just use a small carabiner or 2 (metal, not plastic); Amazon has "cloak clips" that might work, also, a belt may be helpful. The way the fronts and collar are done the fronts can overlap to where single- or double-breasted buttons could be used. 5) The sleeves are wide enough that, if you forget your gloves, you can get your hands all the up the opposite sleeves to your elbows, possibly even drive with your sleeves(--ask me how I found that out...)

• Thank you for your comments! You are correct regarding how the seaming of the Neck Extensions is done. The following is a breakdown of the finishing instructions: FINISHING Note: Sew all seams using mattress stitch technique. Use fasten off yarn ends where applicable to sew seams. 1) Sew shoulder seams to markers using mattress stitch. 2) With WS facing, sew center back seam of neck extension. 3) With RS facing, sew sides of neck extensions to back neck edge, 4) having neck extension seam at center back PM on side edges of Back and Fronts 8½ (9-9-9½-10)" [21.5 (23-23-24.5-25.5) cm] down from shoulders.

Terrible Finish Instructions

I spent a lot of time crocheting all the pieces, and they turned out great—nice, big, and thick. Everything seemed like it would come together pretty easily. But when I reached the finishing step, it was impossible! The instructions didn't make any sense—there was no clear indication of which parts to sew to which. I searched Google for pictures to get an idea of what others have done, but since this pattern is so new, there's nothing available. I'm super frustrated and will just have to guess the best way to put this together.
