Looking pretty in pink, and gorgeous in a cosy hood, baby will stay snug at playtime wearing this comfy jacket.
Every child needs a cosy hoodie to keep them warm during playtime and this pixie hoodie is the perfect jacket for the job. Held together by two pretty flower buttons, this dressy coat is nice and roomy and knitted in the soft yet practical Red Heart Baby yarn. It’s easy to knit too - worked in simple garter stitch, creating a pleasing texture.
You’ll find the material lies flat as you work too, meaning no more curled edges to your garment.

Knitting beginners often notice how loose the first stitch is and how this can often mean a sloppy edge. There are ways to remedy this, including slipping the first stitch, which stretches the edge stitches out over two rows; or creating a knotted edge by purling the first and last stitch of every row (for garter stitch).
