Henderson Baby Jacket
Introducing a charming hooded raglan jacket design, perfect for celebrating your friend's child's first birthday! This delightful sweater is not just a gift; it's a thoughtful piece that combines style, comfort, and practicality. Crafted with care, this pattern is designed for quick and easy knitting, making it ideal for parents who know that little ones grow fast. Why spend hours on intricate knits? This project utilizes pre-striping cake yarn, providing a stunning visual effect with none of the hassle—no waiting for the knitter to create stripes, just beautiful colors that pop!
Hoods are a must for little ones, offering warmth and cuteness in equal measure. Following the dad's request for functional closures—since tiny buttons can be tricky—this design features adaptable tie closures. However, feel free to swap in toggles, clasps, or even a zipper for added versatility! The body of the jacket is knit in one continuous piece, which means fewer seams and a quicker finish, while the sleeves are knitted in the round, ensuring minimal finishing work is required for busy knitters. The edges of the jacket include a charming moss stitch, giving it that extra touch of texture.
This cozy hooded raglan jacket is knit in a soft worsted weight yarn, making it the perfect choice for snuggling infants. It's showcased in a size for 12 months, but this pattern is thoughtfully available in multiple sizes—0-3 months, 6-9 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months. The finished chest measurements range from 20.5” for the smallest size up to 27” for the largest (52/58/64/67/69 cm), ensuring a great fit for your little loved one. The finished length also varies, measuring 11.75” for the smallest size and reaching 15” for the largest (30/32/34/36/38 cm).
This pattern is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters looking to create a heartwarming gift. Whether it's for a birthday celebration or just because, this hooded jacket is sure to be a hit!
