Baby Matinee Jacket / Cardigan – Restored Vintage Knitting Pattern (1970s) Cable Raglan 16''-19'' DK Intermediate Large Print A4 & US Letter PDF Instant Download- 117

A beautifully unusual vintage knitting pattern from the 1970s, this flared matinee jacket is a real standout in any baby wardrobe. The traditional flared shape features an intricate cable stitch pattern in the skirt — rich, textured and eye-catching — transitioning into smooth stocking stitch for the bodice and long sleeves, with neat ribbed sleeve bands for a polished finish. Worked in one piece to the armholes, with easy raglan sleeves that make dressing and undressing a breeze.

This pattern is printed in large print.
