November 2017 Pattern of the
Month Machine Knit
Two Color Baby Vest in two
sizes with sleeve option
© 2015 by N Banks
This is a cute, quick, easy to make sleeveless vest with sleeve option for a 6 month and 12 month baby. Made in two colors using 2 ply baby yarn that you can get just about any where. No hem is used, so a ribber is not required.
The neckline and bottom just roll up. This pattern is written for
beginners. Vest shown above is the 6 month size., the 12 month size is the blue
one with the pink trim. The one below is shown in the 12 month size. You can
add the sleeves for a change for winter.
Materials:
One ball or skein 2 ply baby yarn in solid and One ball or skein
in a variegated to match your solid color. This will make one vest or one sweater. Or make
them in two solid colors.
If you make both sizes, then you will need two skeins of the
variegated yarn. I used Red Heart Baby Yarn in Baby Print for the variegated
and Pastel Green for the solid color. Samples were made on a SK700. 4.5 m
