Fleece boy jacket

I made a jacket for my son based on a knit-cardigan pattern from Ottobre design, 4/2003, Nr. 21.

Instead of using a wool knit, I decided to go for a two sided fleece, which is slightly more windproof and slightly stiffer than ordinary light fleece. It was a standard Raglan sleeve with a zipper in the front.

Almost finished jacket. I later did the hems and sleeve edges and added some reflective tape on the back and on the sleeves. My kid loves to walk around after dark so you can never be too careful!
