Not just for Oktoberfest season:
Baby traditional knitted vest size 86/92 with intarsia cable
(To
purchase/download, please click the image)
The
PDF pattern is illustrated. The red cable on the back is made using the intarsia technique (detailed explanation is included) and requires some time and skill - so I would not recommend it for knitting beginners. The cable also looks nice in solid gray; then the whole piece knits up fairly quickly. For beginning knitters, I recommend knitting this vest completely without the cable and/or in one color.
For this special sleeveless baby vest without buttons,
we need:
150 g gray merino wool + 50 g red merino wool, here Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, 50 g – 120 m yardage, gauge according to the ball band: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm, knitting needle 3.0 – 4.0;
here: knitting needle 4.0, cable needle, crochet hook 3.5 for the bow, stitch holder or similar for putting stitches on hold, yarn needle for weaving in ends, stitch marker is helpful.
By the way: here in my
Shop there's a
free chart for baby measurements.
