This charming downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Debbie Bliss contains instructions for two delightful projects designed to coordinate: the Billy Jacket, a children's colour-block jacket worked in Debbie Bliss Rialto DK, and the Buddy Bear, a stuffed toy bear complete with its own miniature matching jacket, knitted in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. Together they make a wonderfully cohesive gift set or wardrobe addition for young children.
The Billy Jacket is a children's knitted jacket designed to fit ages 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8 years, with finished chest measurements ranging from 72 cm (28¼ in) to 84 cm (32¾ in) and lengths to shoulder from 37 cm (14½ in) to 52 cm (20½ in). The sleeve length, with the cuff turned back, ranges from 22 cm (8½ in) to 30 cm (11¾ in). The jacket features a colour-work design using three coordinating shades and is finished with eight poppers and buttons.
22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 cm / 4 in over stocking stitch using 4mm (US 6) needles and Debbie Bliss Rialto DK. Achieving correct tension is especially important for sizing accuracy across the four age ranges.
The Billy Jacket is worked flat (back and forth in rows) and then seamed together, making it a traditionally constructed garment. The colour-work involves switching between the three shades — Ocean, Ecru, and Mallard — with yarn broken and rejoined as required. Ribbed borders and cuffs are worked in rib stitch, with the cuffs designed to be turned back for a neat, decorative finish.
This pattern is rated advanced, making it most suitable for experienced knitters comfortable with multi-colour work, garment shaping, seaming,

Review summary
Customers find the jacket pattern clear and easy to follow, and finished jackets turn out well. Some found the teddy head instructions unclear or incomplete, but complaints are uncommon.
Summarized by AI
Very easy to understand pattern with great photos. Clear concise instructions. I don’t normally buy Debbie Bliss patterns because they usually are made with specialised yarn that she sells but this one is in DK and is working out well for tension. Very happy with this adorable little pattern.
I love the pattern and it is written well. I have completed one jacket for my 6 year old grandson who lives in Seattle (the reason I chose this pattern as we regularly go see the Seattle Mariners with our family) and am about to start a second one for my 2 year old grandson
I made the Baseball Jacket from another Debbie Bliss pattern and adapted this pattern to make a matching jacket for the Teddy. I think a smiley face suits the Teddy! I scored four as the Teddy pattern is incomplete. The back of the head section ends with 9 stitches but no further instructions. Other parts of the head have stitch markers but no follow up instructions. It wasn’t clear how to sew up the head sections. Photographs of the steps to complete the Teddy would have helped greatly. Also...
Pattern being used at present so cannot see if finished garment will be ok. Pattern easy to follow.
done it it turned out very well but the teddy pattern for the head with hard too follow
