I've made this as a Christmas present for my neighbours' 5 year old fosteree. I got the fabric from an Etsy seller having failed to find anything I liked on any of my usual go to sites. I'm pleased with the way it has come out, I just hope it fits. I did borrow a T shirt as a size guide. I was just about to cut out and had a sudden crisis of confidence and went for a size bigger. I used a basic online raglan pattern but added the pockets and did a curved hem instead of a band. I think the pockets took as long as all the rest put together. I fussy cut so that the pattern was not interrupted. The pockets are literally 'patch' pockets. The outer and lining are seamed along the top but raw edges round the rest. It was just going to be too thick on a small garment if I had seamed the outer and lining all round.
