It’s lined with cotton pillow ticking because that’s what she had on hand. I’d recommend some kind of slick silk-like material so it slides on and off easier. Good luck!

It’s in the video briefly, Anorak pattern from a company called The Green Pepper

I love this anorak! Was the front pocket changed to a patch pocket as well?

It was some time ago when there were a lot of US and foreign military wool blankets were readily available. Looks like that supply has dried up. They’re out there, but it’s a right place/time kinda deal. Hit up the thrift shops. The trick to proving that it’s wool is pick off some of the fuzz, roll it up in your fingers to a little cylinder. Light it with a lighter, if it won’t stay lit, it’s wool.

Honestly, 80% is fine, like the Swiss Army blankets

@@clarklewis Thank you. I found some ready-made anoraks very cheaply priced that are supposed to be 100% wool and am trying to figure out if I should bother custom making them, though my son in law is a bodybuilder and just having it big enough for him might be the tipping point. :)

@@MariaInIowa Good luck!

The pattern used is in the video description

No, sorry. She’s not keen on appearing in videos. She did say she’s unlikely to ever make another because of how difficult it was, right after she finished one for herself. I reckon persistence pays off.😬. To quote Rob Schneider, “You can do it!” If you have questions, she could probably help

@@clarklewis I commend her for making another! I don't think I will ever sew again after this.. I told him it may be ugly but at least it will be warm!

@@86Zuke 😀 You definitely dove into the deep end with that project! Good luck, I’m sure your pop will love it
