“Mitres, also called dominoes and patchwork knitting, fascinate me. A few years ago I played around to see what I could do with a mitred U. This Baby Jacket was designed as a proof of principle (one day I’d like to make myself an adult version) and I liked it so much I wrote up the pattern to share.

The striped version is the prototype and was made by two different methods. The pink version was made using the final, best method.“
