September 2020 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 a 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 one below is shown in the
12 month size. Both are worked from the top up. Add the easy to make sleeves
for a change for winter.
One ball or skein 2 ply baby yarn in solid and
One ball or skein in a variegated to match your solid color. 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
machine.
