Easy Peasy Baby Jacket Pattern

This adorable, simple baby sweater is knitted in garter stitch, so you don't need to worry about adding ribbing around the neck and sleeves.

This is the perfect first sweater—both for the baby and the knitter.
There’s something sweet, even naïve, about an all-garter-stitch baby sweater. It’s a perfect first sweater. And, whether it’s your first sweater or your hundredth, you’ll appreciate not having to add front or neck bands when you’re done. That’s the beauty of garter stitch.
