Fabel Children's Jacket

The Fabel Jacket is a warm and soft cardigan, perfect for playful little ones. It is knitted in stockinette stitch, with a leaf motif on both sides of the front opening. The cuffs, neckline, and hem are finished with garter stitch edges.
The jacket is worked back and forth, from the bottom up. It begins with a garter stitch hem, followed by the main body, which includes the back and front pieces. The front pieces feature a button band and a leaf motif. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles and are joined to the body before working raglan decreases. Finally, a garter stitch neckline is added.
