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 machine.
