Jacket with Garter Picot Edge

Introducing Knitting Pattern No. 52 by Pizpaw Patterns: a delightful Jacket/Cardigan featuring Garter Picot Edging. This charming pattern is designed for little ones and includes two different sizes, perfect for growing babies!

The first size fits babies aged 6 to 12 months with a chest size of 18 inches (46 cm), while the second size accommodates babies aged 12 to 24 months with a chest size of 20 inches (51 cm). This flexibility makes it a fantastic choice for both baby showers and special gifting occasions.

This knitting pattern features an easy-to-knit design that can be crafted on straight needles, making it ideal for knitters from beginner to advanced levels. The sleeve cuffs are adorned with a lovely picot finish, adding an elegant touch to the overall look. To create a beautifully finished jacket, the hem and front edgings are knitted separately as a garter stitch band complete with picots on either side, and then sewn onto the jacket after assembly.

This pattern calls for double-knitting (light worsted) wool and requires sizes 3.25 mm and 4 mm straight needles (U.S. sizes 3 and 6). For added convenience, you’ll need 3 press studs (also known as poppers or fasteners) and 3 buttons to neatly fasten the Jacket, ensuring it stays snug and stylish for your little one.

The lovely pink Jacket sample is knitted using Woolcraft Baby Care DK in candy shade 614 for the Main Shade, paired beautifully with Robin DK in silver shade 0027 for the Contrast Shade. This combination provides a soft and pleasant look that is perfect for both boys and girls.

Please note that this knitting pattern is written using British terminology, so be prepared to embrace a bit of knitting lingo! Enjoy crafting this delightful piece that not only provides warmth but also showcases your knitting talents.
