Garter Stitch Jacket and Hat Knitting Pattern for Baby

This Garter Stitch Jacket and Hat Knitting Pattern for Baby is too adorable to pass up! This is one of the simplest baby knitting patterns for beginners. Use a basic stitch to make the bulk of this project. The cute green pocket and hat rim are nice accents to the rest of the project. This jacket comes in sizes starting at 3-6 months all the way up to a year. The diagram is a great visual and really shows how simple the pattern is. If you're looking for that perfect baby shower gift, this is a fantastic option!

NotesThe jacket is worked in one piece from the lower edge of the back. If you are making the Jacket and the Hat, one ball of Citrus should be sufficient for both.
