Level of Difficulty - Intermediate
A vest is a great garment for in-between weather, keeping the body warm but the arms free for active playing. 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 (coming soon), who is made with traditional flat pieces and is sewn together. Henry and Harper are their older siblings, coming soon in sizes 2y-12y.
