Georgie Seamless 8ply Baby Vest

Intermediate Knitting
A vest is a great garment for in-between weather, keeping the body warm but the arms free for active playing. Suitable for the intermediate knitter, Georgie is made entirely in one piece, from the bottom up, with clever short-row shaping and a three-needle cast off on the right shoulder, while the left shoulder opening makes getting it 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! Georgie has a sibling pattern, Grace, who is made with traditional flat pieces and is sewn together. Henry and Hattie are their older siblings, coming soon in sizes 2y-12y.
