The Wooli Jacket is a delightful kids’ coat sewing pattern that combines practicality with a whimsical touch. Crafted from whale loden, a 100% sheep’s wool fabric, the jacket is breathable, heat-regulating, and naturally wind- and water-resistant. This makes it ideal for children’s outerwear, especially during colder months. The pattern features a classic hooded design with playful fabric ears and button closures, creating an adorable look while ensuring comfort and freedom of movement. The best part? Wool fabrics like whale loden don’t need to be serged, making this project approachable even for beginner sewists.

The Wooli Jacket is versatile in fabric choices. While it’s designed for coat fabrics like whalecloth, it can also be made using sweat, jacquard, or fleece for different styles and levels of warmth. This flexibility allows you to tailor the jacket to your child’s needs, whether for a cozy winter coat or a lighter, transitional piece. The jacket is cut to provide a roomy fit, ensuring that children can move freely while staying warm and comfortable.

One of the standout aspects of working with wool is its ease of handling. Unlike some other materials, wool doesn’t fray, making it easy to cut and sew without additional finishing techniques. It’s also highly durable and easy to maintain, perfect for everyday wear by active little ones. Plus, the natural properties of wool mean it keeps children warm without overheating, making it an excellent choice for layering during unpredictable weather.

The free pattern for the Wooli Jacket is available in sizes 80/86/92/98/104, covering a range of toddler and young child sizes. This makes it a great project for parents or caregivers looking to create a custom coat that’s both stylish and functional. Whether you choose classic neutrals or vibrant hues, this pattern offers endless creative possibilities.
