Introducing the charming Sailing By Matinee Jacket knitting pattern, specially designed for babies aged 0 – 12 months. This delightful jacket is not only an adorable addition to your little one’s wardrobe but also a fantastic knitting project that you can enjoy. Crafted in high-quality DK (double knitting) yarn, the jacket showcases a beautiful seawave border and features a whimsical sailing boat motif, making it the perfect gift for baby showers or welcoming a new arrival.

For my version of the Sailing By Matinee Jacket, I chose a DK acrylic yarn, which is ideal for ease of washing and durability. However, feel free to use your favorite DK yarn that suits your preferences. The pattern is flexible, allowing you to create a beautiful garment that can withstand the rigors of baby life while still being incredibly soft and comfortable.

This jacket pattern is designed to be simple yet engaging, knitted flat on single point needles in five separate pieces. Once you reach the yoke, the pieces are effortlessly joined, and the yoke is knitted in one continuous piece. Thanks to the straightforward design, only minimal stitching is required for finishing the garment, as you will just need to seam the sides and sleeves, making it a quick and rewarding project.

The Sailing By Matinee Jacket fastens with three charming small buttons, adding a sweet touch to its overall look. The pattern extensively uses Garter stitch and Stocking stitch, allowing knitters of all skill levels to easily follow along. Clear row-by-row instructions are provided for every section, including the stylish seawave border and the adorable boat motif, ensuring your finished product is nothing short of exceptional.

This beautifully crafted pattern is provided in a convenient PDF format spanning five pages, making it easy to print or view on a digital device. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Sailing By Matinee Jacket knitting pattern is sure to bring joy to both the maker and the recipient. Get ready to create a treasured handmade item that will be cherished for years to come!
