Robin Hood Jacket

Pattern by Zoë Mellor and published in the book Adorable Knits for Tots: 25 Stylish Designs for Babies and Toddlers.

Completed using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn (Fig color) and size 10 1/2 (6.5mm) needles.

I started this July 17th, 2011 and had to rip it out and redo the beginning 4 times (sigh) to get the size right - even then my gauge isn't correct (yarn is a bit thicker than the yarn pattern calls for).  I am knitting the "newborn" size and it will be large enough for the 4 year old it's intended for... back panel is 13" wide and 15" tall.

August 8th, 2011 - Back and both sides of front completed!
  I may have done a small victory dance after completing the back, and was so excited I finished both sides of the front within a couple of days.  The pattern is easy to follow once you get through one set of the cable repeat pattern.

    I have to admit that while knitting the right front section, I got into a groove and completely forgot to do the buttonholes!  So... this will have frog clasps instead of wooden toggles and button holes.
