Bibi Baby Jacket


Sweet little baby jacket in two sizes ~
newborn and 3 - 6 months baby


Bibi Baby Jacket


I previously used this stitch to make a baby gilet / waistcoat.
I love knitting this stitch ....... 
and as loads of knitters liked it too - and asked for a version with sleeves -
I thought it was a great idea!

    1. Hi there. As you have knitted this jacket could you please tell me how to cast off at the end of the row as it states when finishing the sleeves. I'm sorry to bother you but I really hope that you can help me. Thank you. Paula

    2. To cast off 3sts at the end of a row ~
      You work across the row until you have 3sts on your left hand needle. Knit the first st, knit the second st, and pass the first over the second. Knit the last st and pass the second st over it. You will now have a loop - cut the yarn and pull it through the loop. Easy !
