To cuff or not to cuff...

... Buffy, that is the question.

It has been suggested by several Ravelers that I do a provisional cast on and wait until the Jug Coat is completed before I decide on the edge finish. Good answer!  Let's me put off that decision for now.

Dropping a vertical row of squares (1/2 square on the front and 1/2 square on the back) would unbalance the coat -- every other row would have one wrapping square on one side but not the other. Dropping a two vertical rows of squares (one on the front side and one on the back) could be a solution for a very wearable coat still with a balanced look. If you squint at the finished image and imagine it without the pleated material under the left arm and the extra material kicked out by the model's right foot, it looks quite modern. It would be a pound or more lighter and, yes, very wearable. And much less knitting ( I might be able to catch up to you!)

Maybe the real secret to this Jug Coat is great boots and a curly blonde haircut.
