Designed for my Granddaughters during the Coronavirus lockdown, this little jacket represents fun and freedom to play outside again :-)

Made to be worn throughout the year, this warm and snuggly little jacket will bring many smiles to everyone around.
I have designed the jacket “all in one piece” !
There are no seams or making up to do, only the appliques to sew on once the Jacket is finished.
I have used a soft Aran weight yarn (USA Worsted) for the jacket and 4 colours of DK weight (USA light worsted) for the appliques, a great pattern for using up your yarn scraps!
I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did 😊
