UPDATE: The adult version of this jacket is the Weekend Jacket, published in April 2009.

This sporty little jacket will make your child a standout in any arena! It features a simple diagonal stripe pattern on the body contrasted with wider vertical stripes of the sleeves, and a kimono-style front closure with 2 outside buttons and one inside. Easy drop-shoulder construction allows for quick finishing too.

And because of the front overlap, you can make it fit a growing baby longer simply by moving the buttons to allow more room.

Pattern includes charts and schematic.

Knitted in the round with steeks for the front and sleeve openings. Steeking instructions given on website.
