NATURALLY K451 CROSSOVER JACKET & HAT KNITTING PATTERN
A wrap-style baby jacket with matching hat and a choice of stocking-stitch or lace finishes, sized from newborn to 12–18 months.
Pattern overview: The back, crossover fronts and sleeves are knitted flat and seamed. A picked-up ribbed edging runs around the fronts and neck, and two knitted ties secure the wrap; an optional snap can add extra security. The matching hat is knitted flat, crown-shaped and seamed. Both jacket and hat include stocking-stitch and lace versions. Best suited to an intermediate knitter comfortable with shaping, lace, picking up stitches and seaming.
