A super cute and practical anorak for the little ones, with buttoning all the way down.
Construction You cast on the hood using a Turkish cast-on and knit back and forth from here. After the hood, raglan increases are made before continuing separately with the body and sleeves. Short rows are worked to shape the curve at the back.
Size guide The anorak has a fairly loose fit to ensure it can be worn for a long time. If you’re unsure about the size, you may want to compare the measurements with an outer garment you already have.
