Modular Tomten Jacket
by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Pattern source: The Opinionated Knitter / Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed, 7 x 50 g, colourway 411 granary, and Debbie Bliss Merino DK, 1,3 x 50 g, colourway 225202
Needles: 4 mm
I started out with 152 stitches, and the size is perfect for Onni. Yay! I made the sleeves too long hoping he would be able to wear this jacket a little longer.
This took a long time to knit, mainly because of the yarn. It's definitely not a favourite of mine. I sticks to my needles and makes knitting very uncomfortable. I'm happy with the finished jacket though, I think it looks very cute on my boy. And Onni has announced the jacket to be "not very itchy", which is high praise indeed.
