NATURALLY K489 TEXTURED BABY VEST KNITTING PATTERN
A neat textured vest in organic cotton 4ply, sized from 6–9 months to 3–4 years.
Pattern overview: The back and front are knitted flat in an eight-row texture pattern, with shaped armholes and neckline. One shoulder is joined before the ribbed neckband is picked up; ribbed armhole bands are worked after the second shoulder is joined, then the side seams are completed. An intermediate project for knitters comfortable with working texture while shaping, picking up stitches and seaming.
