This versatile paper leaflet provides detailed instructions for crafting a shawl collared jacket, a v-neck jacket, and a waistcoat, all designed to fit baby chest sizes ranging from 16 to 26 inches (41 to 66 cm).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin this project, ensure you have acquired the necessary tools: 3.25mm and 4mm knitting needles. Before casting on, perform a tension swatch using the recommended King Cole DK yarn to ensure your stitches match the pattern gauge. For care, store your paper pattern in a protective plastic sleeve to prevent fraying or staining during long-term projects. Once the garments are completed, follow the care instructions provided on the yarn ball bands for washing and drying to ensure the longevity of the baby clothes.
