Chinchilla #169 Minnowknits Pattern

Chinchilla (MinnowKnits #169) is a kids' jacket and hat knitting pattern by Jil Eaton: a fluffy child's coat with four toggle buttons and a matching beret-style hat, knit in bulky fur-type yarn. The jacket is plain stockinette, so it is a quick knit on US 10½ needles, in sizes 1 to 6 years, and makes a cosy winter or holiday coat for a little one.
