Baby Jacket with Collar (Tunisian Ribbing Yoke)

Explore a classic knitting pattern from a charming booklet published by P&B in the 1950s. This delightful design, originally owned by my great-aunt Joyce, has stood the test of time and has become a beloved favorite in my family. Over the years, I have crafted numerous adorable jackets using this nostalgic pattern for family and friends, each one infused with warmth and affection.

This timeless garment features two distinct textured stitch patterns that add a unique flair to the design. Renowned for its quality, this pattern is worked in six separate pieces, making it easy to customize the fit before sewing them together for a polished finish. The front ribbed edgings are artfully created as you work on the fronts, ensuring a neat and professional look.

The original pattern has been carefully edited to align with current US knitting terminology, making it accessible for modern knitters. Additionally, we’ve included an extra size to accommodate a wider range of infants. This nostalgic design comes in two sizes: 6-12 months and 12-18 months, making it a perfect choice for gifting.

Pay attention to the gauge for the larger size, which is 12 stitches and 16 rows (in stockinette) to achieve a 2-inch measurement, using US size 7 needles. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner, this pattern offers a rewarding and enjoyable crafting experience.

For each jacket, you will typically need two balls of 1.75 oz (50 g) yarn, ensuring you have enough material to complete this charming sweater. Join the countless others who have found joy in knitting this sweet jacket and create a cherished piece that will bring smiles to your loved ones!
