A neat little jacket for playing in the fall leaves is an absolute necessity!

 

No buttons to fumble with, just zip it up and go. A ribbed, folded collar will keep the autumn breezes at bay. Two front pockets make a great place to store a favorite trinket.

 

Pick some bright, kid friendly colors and whip this jacket up in no time. Heavy worsted wool keeps the little ones warm and makes for a quick knit.
