Benington Baby Jacket

High street stores are full of little baby cardigans that are simple, wearable and go well with any outfit. Being a knitting mama, I of course wanted to make my own version! And perhaps you do too?

Enter the Benington Baby Jacket: a basic garter stitch design that can be jazzed up with fun buttons, colourful stripes or a printed fabric lining. Whether you see this as a jacket, a cardigan or something in between, it will keep your little one cosy and on-trend all year round.

This casual garment is the perfect baby knit for beginners, or a quick and relaxing project for more experienced knitters. For a warm jacket suitable for cooler weather, try hand stitching a fabric lining into the jacket. A cotton jersey fabric will stretch and move with the knitted garment. Pick an animal or vehicle print for added fun!
