The jacket is my own design; the earflap hat pattern, I found surfing the internet 😉
Materials: 200g of any brand Bulky Yarn (#5
weight); #11 knitting needles – straight; #L crochet hook; 3 medium stich
holders; 4 pieces CC scrap yarn, about 3-inches in length; tapestry needle;
elastic thread; 3 1” resin buttons
Size: NB to 3 MO
Terms
Used:
CC = contrast color
CO = cast on
K = knit
P = purl
st st = stockinette st (knit 1 row – purl 1
row)
inc = increase
dec = decrease
x = repeat pattern process

Jacket and hat make up very quickly – you can
have the set completed in a day’s time … a day and a half if you have a life
outside of sitting and knitting 😊
Jacket Back: CO 26 st and work in st st fo 9½ -inches. Place 7 sts on a st
holder (front)/12 sts (neck back) on a st holder/remaining
7 sts on last st holder (front).
Right Front: K across 7 sts on holder & inc 2 sts at end of row. P next
row. Continue in sts st, and inc 2 sts every k row x3 (15 sts on
needle).
Work even in st st, until entire piece
measures 9½ -inches from shoulder. EO
Back of Neck: Leave sts on holder.
Left Front (Buttonhole side; boy): Slip sts of this holder
onto needle; attach yarn and knit across 7 sts. P next row – increasing 2 sts
at end of row. Continue in st st, and inc 2 sts every p row x3 (15 sts
on needle). Now K 1 row & P 1 row. Begin to work BUTTONHOLES:
K2, yo, k2tog for each buttonhole; make two more buttonholes in same manner,
spaced 1½ -inches between.
Work even in st st, until entire piece
measures 9½ -inches from shoulder. EO
Sleeves: With scrap yarn bits, mark sleeve settings 4¼ -inches from
shoulders (both sides of work). With #L crochet hook, pickup and knit 24
sts between marked area; work in st st on these sts for 4 rows – and dec 1 st
of next row. Repeat dec every other row x3 (16 sts on needle). Work eve
in st st until sleeve measures 5” from shoulder. EO
Repeat instructions on opposite side for
second sleeve.
Remover scrap yarn markers and save for
button placements.
Sew side and sleeve seams.
Collar: From front of work, pick up and k 30 sts along front & back
necklines. P next row (underside of collar). Work in st st until collar
measures 4”. EO
Fold buttonhole front over plain front piece,
and mark button placements by threading tapestry needle with a piece of scrap
yarn and drawing yarn through center st showing through buttonhole hole … this
will make an accurate button placement that lines up properly with buttonhole.
