When I was little, family treasure walks were all the rage. Now, I love watching my own children find “treasures” here and there to carry around! This back-to-school basic features a pouch for all things precious to the younger crowd. Vest is knit from the bottom up in the round, then back and forth after a split for the armholes. Pouch is knit separately then attached seamlessly. Shown in size 2 (both samples).
