Garter Stitch Jacket; Adult Version

The Garter Stitch Adult version was very successful!  Here are some photos.
The finished length is 27 inches, giving it almost a jacket feel.  It zips up the front with a separating zipper that stops about 6 inches from the bottom.  It's super warm and comfortable with lots of give.  I added a bit of width to the cuff from the baby version; cuffs measure 5 inches; this also allows it to be folded up for someone with a shorter arm length.   The button, which looks like a pin when the jacket is worn open, is from my Grandmother's button box and has lots of color in it; it is 2 inches across.  I'm working on getting the pattern written up and will post it soon.
