NATURALLY K483 JACKET & HAT KNITTING PATTERN
A lightweight baby jacket and matching hat in 4ply cotton, with six sizes from newborn to 3–4 years.
Pattern overview: The jacket back, fronts and sleeves are knitted flat, with garter-stitch accents at the lower edges and bands. The button bands and neckband are picked up before the sleeves are set in and the seams completed. The hat is also knitted flat in bands of rib, garter stitch and stocking stitch, then crown-shaped and seamed. A confident-beginner project with simple garment shaping, picked-up bands and tidy finishing.
