Cosy and timeless, this jacket will be cherished for years. This jacket is easy to knit, with a top-down seamless construction. The large double breasted front collar is knit with two rows of buttons so it can grow with the child; when more room is needed the jacket can be fastened on the second row of buttons.
Garter stitch bands at the wrist are designed to worn either folded up or left down, again making it ideal for fast-growing children.
