        you would need very very long needles for the yolk if you didn't use circular needles. You can use circular needles exactly the same as ordinary ones just turn your work as normal at the end of each row, make sure you get long enough ones for the work though as they come in different sizes, good luck

      I'm very tempted to make this gorgeous coat too. How long did it take you? I the pattern easy to follow?

        Hi Karen, It took me about 2 weeks. The pattern is fairly easy to follow but I wouldn't say it is for a beginner. If you have done cable knitting before I think you would find it easy. I also didn't increase the stitches at the bottom of the sleeve, the wrist end, as it made it too bulky for me so I left it straight, I was much happier with it that way but that was just my choice
