“This little jacket reminds me of the knitted coats that children wore in the fifties. It features an easy textured stitch and I-cord edgings. The front neckline is shaped with short rows. The jacket is knitted in one piece to the armholes and then the fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders. The slightly full body is decreased under the arms in short garter-stitch “gussets” so that the pattern stitch is not disrupted at the side seams. The garter-stitch cuffs on the sleeves turn back, allowing for some growth. The I-cord trim along the front opening is worked simultaneously with the sweater fronts. Attached I-cord is worked around the neck opening.“

Uses crocheted buttonholes.
