Trust Northwest knitting guru Suzanne Sullivan to make
simple garter stitch extra special. This charming little jacket, knit from cuff to cuff, has infinite possibilities. Make it striped. Or not. Add a ruffle. Or not. Add I-cord edging. Or not. For a handsome boy version, remember to reverse the direction of the wrap and ties.

Garter stitch showcases handpainted yarn beautifully. Use your favorite--we especially love Koigu KPPPM, shown here in subtle stripes.
