Fulled Snow Pals Jackets, PDF pattern

About the Design

These lightweight jackets in 4 kids’ sizes are quick to knit and can be embellished with any of the 9 charted snow buddy motifs – snowbear, snowmoose, snowbunny, snowleopard, snowbird, snowgoose, snowpeople, snowflake, and penguin!

Use one motif on one front side, as shown in the photo, or put its’ mirror image on the other side as well, or circle the whole body with the same or different motifs.

Knit the jacket, then duplicate stitch the motif, where you want it to be, toss in the washer and dryer for a light fulling – the pattern allows for shrinkage in length.

There is no shrinkage in width with the chosen yarn, so the knitted width is the finished width.

The larger-than-usual gauge gives enough room for the yarn to bloom, creating a soft, fuzzy surface!

The single row of I-cord allows for zipper or pewter clasp closure – the choice is yours!
