My design ideas and advice: This simple garter stitch jacket is perfect for new knitters or for those coming back to knitting and want to try out their skills on a straight forward easy pattern. This jacket is basic squares with a tiny bit of shaping. With this in mind, make sure the front edges are neat and join in any new balls at the side seams. If you would like to see this jacket’s big brother, with a double-breasted finish, look no further than the Leighton Jacket. Love this jacket and wish it came in an adult size? It does! I designed the Fiona cardigan, the Charlotte cardigan (in garter stitch) and Halyard in Kilcarra Tweed Simple Knits especially for those who want an adult-sized Leighton Jacket!
