Bibi Baby Jacket

Sweet little baby jacket in two sizes ~
newborn and 3 - 6 months baby



Bibi Baby Jacket

I previously used this stitch to make a baby gilet / waistcoat.

I love knitting this stitch ....... 

and as loads of knitters liked it too - and asked for a version with sleeves -

I thought it was a great idea!
