The little guy in your life will look so very dapper in this tiny knitted blazer.  Knit in squishy Garter Stitch, this jacket is complete with all of the pleats, button bands, and pockets of a traditional suit coat.  The handsome notched collar and button bands are worked right into the jacket fronts for reduced finishing work at the end.
