I have been getting a lot of questions about this color block jacket I made for my son. So here is some information on how I made it. I believe the size would be 5T, but it is easily adjustable if you know to work a ragalan sleeve it is super easy.

I saw a post on instagram by @daisyfarmcrafts and decided to make one for my son. Head over to this link for their pattern. Below you can find my pattern notes.

Yarn: 2 skeins each of Caron simply soft in Royal Blue and Off White.
Hook : 6.0 mm for body and 5.0 mm for ribbing and edging.

The stitch used is alternating rows of SC and double crochet 2 together or DC2T.

Divide for sleeves after 5 alternating rows of sc and DC2T. Devide in the sc row.

Ribbing for sleeves and waist

Using smaller hook work 1 row of Double Crochets (dc)
6-7 rows(depending on how many you want) of alternating Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) and Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC) stitches.



Front and hood edging

Front edging is worked with hood edging.
With smaller hook
Row1: Start at lower left corner. Half Double Crochet (HDC) evenly up to the beginning chain just before the hood starts, SWITCHING colors where ever needed.
Work DC evenly till you reach the other end of the hood. Work HDC on the right side.

Row2: Ch1 turn, go up the right side working HDC. Work alternating FPDC and BPDC stitches across the hood and switch to HDC for the left side.

Row3: ch1 turn, work HDC on the left side, alternating FPDC and BPDC on hood, work HDC on right side - ch1 skip 1 stitch for button holes. 
I have 5 button holes separated by 3 blocks of rows.

Row4: ch1 turn, work hdc in each stitch including ch1 on right side, SC on hood, HDC down the left side. Fasten off.


Attach buttons on left side for boys.

Update:
I have now liNed this jacket and attached buttons 😊
For lining I used a white throw from IKEA that was on sale for 1$ and I still have a lot of it left to make a little blanket for my baby or use it elsewhere. 

To line the jacket, I cut 1 back panel, 2 front panels, 2 for sleeves and sewed them all together. I did not take pictures..But I have seen there are videos on YouTube about how to do this. Hand sew the edges to the jacket leaving a slight margin.

Buttons are from Walmart.
