Chloe Garter Stitch Baby Jacket

Chloe Garter Stitch Baby Jacket  

 

Worked from the top down

I made this jacket with one button only

If you prefer 3 buttons on the yoke – make a buttonhole on rows 5, 25, and 45

If you want a fully buttoned jacket – make a buttonhole on rows 5, 25, 45, 65 and 85
