Description from web site: Several years ago Sue Hulbert posted to the Knitting mailing list a pattern for a baby jacket which could be made in just a few hours. It became known as the 5HBS (5 hour baby sweater). I tried it but wasn’t happy with a couple of aspects of it, so made a few changes and this is my version.

Materials: One 4-oz. skein of knitting worsted weight yarn (may need a little more)

The yardage calculation listed above was estimated using several brands of worsted-weight acrylic yarn.

Yarn Requirements as stated in pattern:

“One 4-oz. skein of knitting worsted weight yarn (may need a little more)
(I used less than 100g of a fluffy acrylic/nylon mixture, about double knitting weight, light worsted) ”
