Description

This little sweater jacket will make any baby look just like a little doll! It has such cute little pattern details. This is a really sweet retro vintage look, but is still totally great for today too.

This listing is for the knitting pattern only. It is an automatic download .pdf file available as soon as you check out.

This pattern is originally from New Lux, 1952 Edition. This is no longer in circulation, so in order to make it available for more vintage loving knitters, I am transcribing the instructions exactly as written in the original pattern book and offering them here.

Directions are for VINTAGE Infant/Chile size 6 months, 1 year. Sizing is according to this chart from the original pattern book:

Year - ВЅ - 1
Chest - 19” - 20”
Waist - 19” - 19 ½”

The pattern is the same for both sizes, you just change needle sizes - so if you wanted to make this bigger, just change needles and/or yarn to get a bigger stitch, and use this same pattern.

Original yarn used was:
3-ply Baby Yarn -
6-months = 4 oz, size 1 needles
1 year = 4 oz, size 3 needles

You can google vintage yarn and get the specifications you need to shop around for modern equivalents.

Gauge: 7 sts x 12 rows = 1" on size 3 needles - Garter Stitch

Extras:
1 yard 1/2" ribbon
5 buttons
