I consider this a “Domino Knitting Starter Project”. Even if you’ve never made a mitred square in your life, you can make this jacket…I’ve explained everything thoroughly. By making squares in different sizes, you give the bottom portion of this “Joseph’s Coat of Many Colours” a little bit of shape; the bodice is done in simple garter stitch to speed up the project. I used a fingering-weight yarn, worked more loosely than you normally would knit it. Great for using up bits of leftover yarn!

It’s a new-born infant size but once you’ve knit it, you’ll see how easy it would be resize the garment by using a heavier yarn…knitting one less tier of mitre squares to make it shorter…adding one more column of squares to make it wider…possibilities are endless!
