Even though the description on the pattern suggested that I would finish in 5 hours, I took my time. It actually took me five evenings to finish this project.
The pattern I used is by Franklin Habit:
Front view of jacket. I used a vintage button from my mother’s collection.
Back View
It really was a delightful knit. I am so thrilled that the yarn combination created an interesting and sturdy fabric. I held two yarns together to achieve the look.
Now there are two less balls of yarn in my stash. With the ball of yellow yarn remaining, I plan to knit some baby beanies.
Anyone out there in Blogville have some patterns to suggest?
Oh, this is adorable. Your comment about the time made me chuckle. I am not too savvy in the kitchen and it kills me when a recipe says total prep time 15 min and an hour later, I’m still preparing . . .

I like the Yoda Baby hat by Binge Tricot on Ravelry – free – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yoda-baby-hat-3 and Sid Beanie by Goergie Nelson on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sid-beanie
Both are a little different. I like lace, too, and to try it out for pattern and such baby beanies are perfect.
Enjoy!

Nice work. I like the double moss around the hems as it finishes the jacket nicely.
