Billie Vest Knitting Kit – New Zealand Merino 8ply
Knit a beautifully soft and versatile children’s vest in 100% New Zealand merino wool. The Billie Vest has a relaxed neckline and deep armholes, making it an easy layering piece from babyhood through to 10 years.
The printed pattern includes two design options: lace panels with vertical textured lines, or a simpler version with vertical textured lines only. Choose 5–10cm of positive ease depending on how relaxed you would like the finished vest to fit.
