This frilly jacket is sure to please your little girl. It is knit from the top-down and includes puffed sleeves at the shoulders and gathers at the sleeve ribbing. The yoke is created using a modified version of the contiguous sleeve method. The button bands are picked up after the body of the jacket has been completed.
