This lovely baby jacket is easy to knit and offers a unique combination of breathability and superior temperature control capabilities, meaning it provides greater warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

The cellular Yarn Over Lace Pattern of this jacket offers insulation and helps to keep your baby’s temperature regular, neither too hot nor too cold, which is perfect for keeping your little one cosy no matter what the season.

The jacket is knit from the bottom up, all in one piece, and had no, or minimal seams, both methods are included in the pattern.
