About the Knitting Pattern
The Rudolph the Reindeer Jacket is a festive children’s cardigan designed to fit ages 6–12 months and 18–24 months, featuring cute reindeers on both the front and back, each with a bright red pompom nose. The jacket is knitted in double knitting (DK) wool and finished with a textured cabled yoke and ribbed edges to help the garment keep its shape. The pattern is written in English and supplied as a digital download PDF.

Design Details
The jacket is shaped with a beautifully textured cabled yoke and fastens with three buttons at the top. The back, left front, right front, and sleeves are each worked flat up to the yoke. All pieces are then joined onto the same needle to complete the decorative cable design. After the yoke is finished, the sleeve and side seams are sewn together. Stitches are picked up along the front edges to knit the button and buttonhole bands. A chart is provided for the Rudolph motif.
