Crossover Jacket & Hat Knit Kit – Solid
Knit a wrap-front jacket and matching hat for a summer baby in Bio Sesia 5 organic cotton 4ply. Ribbed edges, knitted ties and a choice of stocking stitch or lace detail make this a lovely set for newborns through to 18 months.
Why You'll Love This Knit Kit
- Choose a solid shade of 100% organic combed cotton.
- The printed Naturally K451 pattern includes stocking stitch and lace versions.
- One kit supplies the yarn for both the jacket and hat in your selected size.
About the Pattern
The jacket is worked flat in separate back, front and sleeve pieces, with shaped armholes and sleeve tops. Stitches are picked up for the ribbed front and neck edging. Knitted ties fasten the crossover front; a snap fastener is optional. The matching hat is worked flat and seamed.
Skill Level
Intermediate. You should be comfortable with ribbing, increasing and decreasing, picking up stitches and seaming. The lace version also uses yarn overs and lace decreases.
Choosing a Size
Measure the baby's chest and choose by measurement; ages are a guide. All measurements below are in centimetres. The 3 months and 6–9 months sizes share a kit option because they need the same yarn quantity. Each kit supplies one set; follow the individual pattern size you choose.
| Pattern size | To fit chest | Finished chest | Back length | Sleeve length | Hat circumference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newborn | 36 | 41 | 20 | 13 | 33 |
| 3 months | 41 | 46 | 23 | 15 | 35.5 |
| 6–9 months | 46 | 52 | 25 | 17 | 39.5 |
| 12–18 months | 51 | 57 | 29 | 19 | 42 |
