About the Design: After I reworked the Sweatshirt Jacket pattern (that was originally in Fall ’96 Knitter’s magazine) with a lighter weight yarn, for the Sweatshirt Jacket for Women pattern, I decided that children could use such a jacket, as well. This children’s jacket version (in 5 sizes) is made with just 1 strand of Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Bulky, and, though it is warm, it is not as heavy a jacket as the original. With this yarn, a tighter gauge than usual, is a good thing to consider, as it is a single ply yarn. I wanted children to be able to wear the jacket, without having it pill excessively. Tighter gauges help to ward off pilling. Sizes: 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12
