About the Pattern
Kp112 is a versatile knitting pattern that allows you to create a cozy and stylish matinee jacket and hat set for your little one. The pattern features:
- Clear and concise instructions written in USA knitting terminology
- Step-by-step guidance for both the jacket and hat
- Detailed diagrams to illustrate techniques and construction

The matinee jacket has a classic design with ribbed borders, raglan sleeves, and a button closure. The hat features a cozy ribbed brim and a sweet pom-pom topper. Both pieces are adorned with delicate cable details, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble.
Materials You'll Need
To begin knitting this beautiful set, you'll need the following materials:
- Worsted weight yarn (approximately 300 yards for the jacket and 100 yards for the hat)
- Size US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
- Cable needle
- Pom-pom maker or yarn scraps for the hat topper
- Buttons for the jacket closure (optional)
Getting Started
Before you start knitting, it's important to familiarize yourself with the USA knitting terminology used in the pattern. Here's a quick reference:
- K (knit): Insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch on the left-hand needle, from front to back, and wrap the yarn onto the right-hand needle.
- P (purl): Insert the right-hand needle into the next stitch on the left-hand needle, from back to front, and wrap the yarn onto the right-hand needle.
- CO (cast on): Create a new stitch on the needle.
- BO (bind off): Remove a stitch from the needle.
- St (stitch): A single loop of yarn on a knitting needle.
Now that you're familiar with the terminology, let's dive into the knitting!
Knitting the Matinee Jacket
The matinee jacket is constructed in one piece, from the shoulders down. The instructions include detailed steps for:
- Casting on stitches for the collar
- Knitting the ribbed collar
- Dividing the stitches for the front, back, and sleeves
- Knitting the body of the jacket
- Creating the raglan sleeves
- Joining the sleeves to the body
- Knitting the ribbed cuffs and bottom band
- Attaching buttons for the closure
Along the way, you'll learn essential knitting techniques such as increasing and decreasing stitches, knitting in the round, and shaping the garment.
Knitting the Baby Hat
The baby hat completes the adorable ensemble and is equally easy to knit. The instructions cover:
- Casting on stitches for the brim
- Knitting the ribbed brim
- Increasing stitches to shape the crown
- Creating the cable panel
- Decreasing stitches to close the crown
- Adding a pom-pom topper
This hat is a great opportunity to practice different knitting stitches and techniques, such as cabling and crown shaping.
Finishing Touches
Once you've finished knitting both pieces, it's time to give them a professional finish. Here's how:
- Weave in any loose ends of yarn.
- Block the jacket and hat to shape and set the stitches.
- Attach the buttons to the jacket (if desired).
- Add a cute bow or other embellishments to personalize the set.
Your beautiful matinee jacket and hat set is now complete! Congratulations on your accomplishment, and enjoy dressing your little one in this handmade treasure.
Additional Tips
- If you're a beginner knitter, don't be afraid to ask for help or join a knitting group for support.
- Start with a small project like a scarf or washcloth to practice your stitches before tackling a more complex garment.
- Don't be discouraged if you make mistakes. Knitting is a skill that takes time and practice to master.
- Have fun with your knitting! Choose colors and patterns that you love and create something truly special.
We hope you enjoy knitting this charming matinee jacket and hat set. It's a perfect way to show your love and care for the little ones in your life. Happy knitting!
