What skill level do I need to knit YARN The After Party No. 112 – Billy Bear Jacket (Scheepjes)?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The printed YARN The After Party No. 112 – Billy Bear Jacket (Scheepjes) is ideal for advanced beginners or intermediate knitters. The body of the jacket is worked entirely in garter stitch, making it easy to knit, especially if you have already completed straight projects such as scarves or blankets. However, the pattern also includes elements such as the hood, ear assembly, and the use of buttons, which require some basic prior experience in garment making.</p> <p>You do not need to know how to knit in the round or use complex techniques. The design is worked in flat pieces that are assembled at the end. In addition, the printed pattern is very well structured, with instructions divided by size and steps clearly explained. It is an excellent choice for moving from accessories to children’s clothing.</p></div>

What sizes are included in the printed YARN The After Party No. 112 pattern?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The physical Billy Bear Jacket pattern from Scheepjes includes detailed instructions for five different sizes, designed for babies and toddlers from birth to two years. The sizes are divided by age: 0–3 months, 3–6 months, 6–12 months, 12–18 months, and 18–24 months. Each size has specific measurements for both chest circumference and total jacket length.</p> <p>In addition to final measurements, the pattern also specifies the exact number of balls required for each size, allowing you to plan your material purchase in advance. This wide range of sizes makes the pattern an excellent gift project, as it can be easily adapted to different stages of a baby’s growth.</p></div>

What yarns are recommended for knitting the Billy Bear Jacket, and can they be substituted?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The Billy Bear Jacket pattern from Scheepjes was designed to be knitted with Scheepjes Merino Soft Brush, a DK weight yarn with a slightly brushed texture, perfect for baby garments. Scheepjes Merino Soft can also be used without any problem, as it has exactly the same weight and composition but with a smoother and more defined finish. Both yarns can be freely substituted in this pattern without affecting the final result.</p> <p>Both options provide softness, good stitch definition, and durability, as well as being machine washable thanks to their superwash merino content. The choice depends on the finish you prefer: fluffier with Brush, or cleaner and more defined with the classic Merino Soft.</p></div>

How many balls of yarn do I need for each size of the Billy Bear Jacket (Scheepjes)?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The number of balls needed to knit the Billy Bear Jacket with Scheepjes Merino Soft or Brush varies by size. The amounts recommended in the official pattern are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>▷ Size 0–3 months: 5 balls</li> <li>▷ Sizes 3–6 and 6–12 months: 6 balls</li> <li>▷ Sizes 12–18 and 18–24 months: 7 balls</li> </ul> <p>These figures are based on 50 g balls (105 m), which is the standard format for both yarn versions. Using another yarn or modifying the garment length may affect the total required. The pattern also advises making a swatch before starting to ensure the correct gauge and to avoid running out of yarn.</p></div>

What type of buttons does the Billy Bear Jacket require, and how many should I buy?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The Billy Bear Jacket pattern from Scheepjes specifies 6 buttons of 17.5 mm in diameter for the front closure. These buttons should be safe for children’s clothing, preferably flat and easy to fasten. You can also choose decorative buttons to match the style of the project, but they must always be securely sewn on and safe for babies.</p> <p>The pattern also recommends the use of stitch holders and markers to separate parts of the jacket during construction, especially at the shoulders and hood. All these notions are listed in the printed booklet’s materials section.</p></div>

Can the YARN The After Party No. 112 – Billy Bear Jacket be machine washed?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, as long as you use the recommended yarns —Scheepjes Merino Soft Brush or Scheepjes Merino Soft— the finished jacket will be machine washable. Both yarns contain 50% superwash merino wool, allowing for gentle washes without shrinking or misshaping the garment.</p> <p>To maintain the knit in good condition, it is recommended to wash the jacket inside out, in cold water (maximum 30 °C), on a delicate or wool programme. Bleach and tumble drying should be avoided. It is best to dry it flat on a towel to preserve its shape. These qualities make the project not only beautiful and handmade but also practical and durable.</p></div>

Does YARN The After Party No. 112 include instructions for all parts and assembly?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, the printed Billy Bear Jacket pattern from Scheepjes provides all the instructions needed to knit and assemble the complete jacket, including the hood, decorative ears, and sleeves. Each size is described separately, making it easy to follow depending on the baby’s age. The instructions cover everything from casting on to sewing the pieces together and attaching the buttons.</p> <p>In addition to the written instructions, the booklet includes photos of the finished project from different angles, helping you visualise the process. The pattern is clearly laid out and uses standard knitting terminology in English, so having a glossary of abbreviations can be useful if you are not yet familiar with the terms.</p></div>

Is YARN The After Party No. 112 – Billy Bear Jacket only available in English?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The printed Billy Bear Jacket pattern we sell at Garmonyarns is available exclusively in English, in a full-colour physical booklet. The text uses standard knitting abbreviations and terminology from both British and American English, with instructions clearly organised by size. No translations into other languages are included in the booklet.</p> <p>Although Scheepjes distributes digital versions in other languages, such as French or Spanish, we only stock the official printed edition in English.
