“Grammy” Ziegler sadly passed away in April of 2016, but she will always be in our hearts. Thanks to her son Aaron, her patterns will continue to be available for download here. Messages to the designer will not be answered as no one has access to the account. There will be no pattern support. Copyright to all of Deborah’s designs is now owned by her family.

This jacket is one of 15 free crochet patterns by 15 designers as part of the Holiday Stashdown Crochet-a-long 2015! You can find more details on the CAL here, in our Ravelry group.

The Neapolitan Rainbow Jacket is a great asset to your baby’s wardrobe. Using the split half double crochet stitch gives it added warmth for the cooler days ahead. This free version fits 6 mo. old little ones.

Because this free version is done entirely with scrap yarn, knowing the WPI (wraps per inch) of the yarns you would like to use will be important to maintain gauge.

In the materials list I have broken down the yardage by pieces of the jacket. This should help you decide how to use up your stash.

This pattern is written using Craft Yarn Council Standards. I use US terms on all my patterns. Designs from Grammy’s Heart creations are originals by Deborah Ziegler. Any similarities to other designs available are coincidental. I highly recommend reading through the pattern before beginning. Remember, a pattern is a guideline for you. You should always try to express yourself!
