This delightful jacket has a touch of lace in the yoke to provide charm and keeps the knitter’s interest. It is worked seamlessly from the top down in one piece to the underarm, where the body and sleeves are then worked separately. The button bands are worked together with the rest of the knitting. The instructions place the buttons on the left side, typical for baby girls, but the design would be appropriate for baby boys too – just remember to make the buttonholes at the beginning of those rows instead of at the end.
