CH0551 Boxy Kimono Coat III in Interlocking Crochet (CH0551)

I am paying the price for being tardy and procrastinating way too long. I made this ... sometime last year. I made a few copies, with variations. And I didn't immediately post/blog this .. thinking it would surely remain crystal clear as to what I would say and all the tips I learnt along the way. Duh! Now all I can show you are the final products but not a lot of tips!

Luckily, I did manage to write down the written steps so thankfully, there is an availabe pattern on offer - with lots of pics and steps.
