Krausi Jacket is worked in garter stitch seamlessly from the top down in one piece to the underarm where the body and sleeves are then worked separately. The buttonbands are worked together with the rest of the knitting. The instructions place the buttons on the left side, typical for baby girls, but the design would be appropriate for baby boys too. Thanks to the garter stitch technique, the jacket is reversible, provided that the threads are sewn in invisibly.
