The little guy in your life will look so very dapper in this tiny knitted blazer.  Knit in squishy Garter Stitch, this jacket is complete with all of the pleats, button bands, and pockets of a traditional suit coat.  The handsome notched collar and button bands are worked right into the jacket fronts for reduced finishing work at the end.

Pattern Kit includes .pdf file & printed pattern as well as selected yarn and 1" buttons. For yarn winding services, click here.  Click any link below to see all of our stocked colors.
