Baby's Fairisle & Cable Jacket
This is lovely snuggly cable and fairisle jacket, available in a range of sizes. Choose different buttons and colours to change the look.
The downloaded pattern shows the quantities of yarn required for each size, but the main colour starts at 100g for the smallest size and 200g for the largest. Oddments of yarn are required for the contrast colours.
I’ve used Stylecraft Special DK for this jacket, but any suitable alternative DK yarn will suffice. The tension guide is slightly different to the usual DK sizing of 22sts x 30row to 10cms, but this is simply because I’ve unsed smaller needles than the usual 4mm. So if you were going to substitute the yarn, I would recommend choosing one that has a tension guide of 22st x 30rows on 4mm needles.
The pattern is written in UK English, but is easily converted into US.
