Baseball Anyone?

I love all of my knitting patterns, well all of the ones I actually make, some are more challenging than others but usually if find that knitting can be quite relaxing.

Earlier this year I sat down with my extremely large bag of knitting yarns - OK, so it's 4 large bags, and I started to work my way through my pile of double knit toddler patterns.  I have two young nieces and I had this vague idea of dividing up whatever I made between them.  Unfortunately, toddlers can grow quite fast and by the time I had got their measurements from their mum's I discovered that one of them had already grown too much of this group of patterns.

On this occasion I picked out this deep pink yarn out of the bag and I thought I had more than enough to make this design.  However, after I had made the back and one of the fronts I realised that this jacket was coming out larger than I was expecting and I was fast running out of the pink yarn.  I did not want to waste that I had already done, so I decided to try and give my jacket an American baseball jacket make over.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure it worked that well!
