Fleur is worked top down with raglan increases. It is first worked back and forth in stockinette stitch, before the yoke is joined and worked in the round. Short rows are worked at the sides before the raglan increases to create a good fit. The rest of the coat is worked in stockinette stitch with a few rows of double knitting. Bind off, a colomn of purl stitches and i-cord are also used. The pattern gives room for good flow, as well as variation and fun.

The cape is loose-fitting and worked separately, with gauge 17/10.
