Monochrome stripes give a modern twist to the classic heart motif on this birth-to-teen sized jacket. A smart inset pocket and the clever non-flipping hem, cuffs and front bands add the final polish. Swap Hudson Bay Company colours for the black and grey, and no Canadian will be able to resist!

Jacket is a very roomy fit; it’s perfect for layers. Worked bottom up in pieces and seamed with modified set-in sleeves. Heart motif on back is worked in intarsia. Front bands and neck edging are applied after assembly.

This knitting pattern includes written directions, chart for intarsia motif, front and back images, instructions for both male and female button placement, a schematic with measurements, and thoughtful details.
