..THE traditional classic in a tiny size..
For this
easy-to-knit baby traditional jacket, you will need approx. 100 g, e.g. Zimba Top by Schoeller+Stahl in classic traditional gray + 50 g (or leftover yarn) Regia 4-ply for the edging knitted in traditional green, knitting needle size 3.0, and, if needed, a crochet hook 3 - 3.5 for the decorative foundation chain on the front band.
The
PDF knitting pattern contains 15 pictures incl. a link to my free measurement tables.
You will also receive in the download an
Excel table (a spreadsheet program, e.g. Excel or LibreOffice—available free of charge on the internet—is required for this) for quickly converting your gauge to your desired size (can be used for all knit/crochet pieces).
Basic knitting skills are assumed (i.e. the latter are not illustrated).
Required knitting skills: long-tail cast-on, knit stitches, bind off, increase stitches (from the strand between stitches), yarn over (for the buttonholes), knit 2 stitches together.
By the way: This jacket can
also be knitted without sleeves (then crochet around the armholes in green once with single crochet) as a vest.
