Yes, a chart for a garment knit flat is always read left to right on RS rows, and right to left on WS row.  I would suggest that you print out copies of all the charts and paste them together if you are having trouble going from one to the other.  They are all multiples that fit into the 24 rows of the longest panel. When the longest panel is complete, the repeats will also end for the shorter panels.  However, their repeats will have been worked a number of times as the longer panel repeat will only have been worked once. The Ribbon & Latch Panel is a 24-row repeat. It is the longest panel.  Panel 1 is a 6-row repeat.  It is worked 4x during the construction of the 24-Row Ribbon & Latch Panel.  Panel 2 is a 12-row repeat.  It is worked 2x during the construction of the Ribbon & Latch Panel.  If Lucille can layout and work 6 rows, she will have completed one repeat of Panel 1, 1/2 repeat of Panel 2 and 1/4 repeat of the Ribbon and Latch panel.  After completing 12 rows, she will have completed 2 repeats of Panel 1, 1 repeat of Panel 2, and 1/2 repeat of the Ribbon & Latch Panel.

I want to share with you some photo from when I knit the first Pea Coat. You can see the pieces laid out before seaming.

This is great information. I'm definitely thinking of adding the pockets when I get to the finishing stage.

Susan, none at all. But please join us for the kickoff call on Saturday at noon. We will have some bonus materials for you.
