Jakobs Coat

Introducing our beautifully designed cardigan pattern, created specifically for the soft and vibrant King Cole Drifter yarn. This delightful yarn offers a wide range of stunning color schemes, making it an ideal choice for children's garments. However, feel free to use any DK yarn of your choice—any high-quality yarn will work wonderfully for this project. The stitch pattern used in this cardigan closely resembles brioche but is much easier to execute, requiring far less yarn. It's a clever modification of traditional garter stitch, ensuring that you achieve a beautiful textural effect without the complexity of more advanced techniques. This cardigan features classic shaping along with a charmingly wide fold-down collar that adds a special touch to this cozy piece. The pattern accommodates six different sizes to fit growing children: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, 4-5 years, and 6-7 years, corresponding to chest measurements of 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, and 66 cm, or approximately 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26 inches. For this project, you will need approximately 300 meters (or 329 yards) of King Cole Drifter yarn in Colorado, with yarn consumption ranging from about 100 grams for the smallest size to 350 grams for the largest. Get ready to create a lovely, durable cardigan that your child will cherish, making this knitting pattern an essential addition to your collection!
