..THE traditional classic in miniature format..
For this
easy-to-knit baby traditional-style jacket, you will need approx. 100 g of 4-ply sock yarn, e.g. Zimba Top by Schoeller Stahl in classic traditional gray, 50 g (or leftover yarn) of Regia 4-ply for the edging, knitted in traditional green, size 3.0 mm knitting needles, and, if needed, a 3–3.5 mm crochet hook for the decorative foundation chain on the front band.
The
PDF pattern contains 15 images.
You will also receive, as a bonus, the simple version of my
Excel spreadsheet for quickly converting your gauge to your desired size (usable for all knitted/crocheted pieces, calculation software required, e.g. Excel or LibreOffice; the latter is available free online).
Basic knitting skills are required (i.e., these are not illustrated).
Required knitting skills: long-tail cast-on, knit stitches, bind off, increase stitches (from the horizontal strand), 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.
