Knitting Pattern Easy Knit Baby Hooded Jacket with Ears Cardigan Beginners DK Age 0 - 6 yrs PDF Boys Girls

Knit a cosy jacket for a baby or young child with this versatile digital knitting pattern. Two styles are included: a hooded jacket with adorable knitted ears and a classic jacket with a wide turn-down collar.

Both versions are worked entirely in garter stitch, creating a warm, textured fabric with plenty of stretch. The jackets feature a comfortable straight shape, drop-shoulder sleeves, turn-back cuffs and a full button-front fastening. Separate buttonhole placement instructions are provided for boys and girls.

The hood is knitted separately and finished with two shaped ears, while the alternative collar creates a simple traditional finish. Both designs can be knitted in any colour, making them suitable for boys and girls throughout the year.

The jackets are worked flat in separate pieces using DK yarn and straight needles, then sewn together. The pattern is suitable for knitters comfortable with basic shaping, buttonholes, increasing, decreasing and garment assembly.
