Kids' Striped Kimono Jacket

**About the Colorful Child’s Jacket Design:** I created this delightful and colorful jacket specifically for children, ensuring it is both fun to wear and easy to knit. This charming jacket is knit in stockinette stitch, featuring attractive seed stitch borders that add texture and visual interest. The knitting process begins from the bottom and works upwards, with stitches seamlessly added for the sleeves, allowing the vibrant striping to flow uninterrupted to the shoulder. Thanks to the kimono-style design, there is no need for complex neck shaping, and the wearable ties are added afterward, eliminating the usual struggles associated with buttonholes and zippers!

For this project, I selected **Bartlettyarns Fisherman Bulky**, a premium super bulky wool yarn known for its warmth and rapid knitting capabilities. This remarkable yarn is not only high-quality but also budget-friendly, making it an ideal choice for knitting colorful jackets without breaking the bank. When knit to a tighter gauge than is typical for super bulky yarns, it results in a durable and warm fabric that can withstand the adventures of everyday play.

To create this adorable children's jacket, you will need **Bartlettyarns Fisherman Bulky,** which is composed of 100% wool and comes in 80 yards per 4-ounce hank. The suggested yarn requirements are as follows: 3 hanks of the main color (MC) in either **Lupine or Denim**, along with 2 hanks each of contrasting colors **A** (choose from Garnet Heather or Bracken) and **B** (go for Lt. Sheep Grey or Natural).

This fun and vibrant jacket is perfect for young knitters and can easily become a cherished piece in your child's wardrobe. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, you’ll find this pattern enjoyable and rewarding. Dive into this delightful knitting experience today and create a unique jacket that your child will love to wear! Happy Knitting! - Dawn
