Grace Seamed 8ply Baby Vest

Easy Knitting
A vest is a great garment for in-between weather, keeping the body warm but the arms free for active playing. Grace is made in the traditional style, bottom up with separate pieces that are then sewn together, and with a left shoulder opening to make getting the vest on and off a breeze. With so many great (machine-washable!) yarn options in 8ply, you’ll be knitting a whole wardrobe of vests for your small people! Grace has a sibling pattern, Georgie, who is made entirely in one piece and is completely seamless with clever short-row shaping and a three needle cast off. Henry and Harper are their older siblings, coming soon in sizes 2y-12y.
