Red is a traditional color in traditional costume fashion. Here, Barbie is wearing a red-and-black dirndl with a green apron. The dirndl has a pretty heart border along the skirt hem. Underneath, Barbie is wearing a white blouse (which is actually crocheted on, so it doesn’t need to be put on separately). The outfit is complete with a red traditional hat, a neck ribbon, a bag, and a gingerbread heart.
It was crocheted using Catania Fine yarn and a 2 mm crochet hook.

Knitting pattern Baby Trachten Vest Size 86/92 with Intarsia Cable





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

And not just during Wiesn season...

For this special sleeveless baby/toddler vest without buttons, we need:

150 g merino wool gray + 50 g merino wool red, here Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, 50 g – 120 m length, gauge according to the ball band: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm, knitting needles 3.0–4.0; here: knitting needles 4.0, cable needle, crochet hook 3.5 for the bow, stitch holder or similar for holding stitches, yarn needle for weaving in ends, stitch marker is helpful.

The PDF pattern is illustrated.

The red cable on the back is worked in intarsia technique (illustrated explanation is included) and takes a little time and skill - so I would not recommend it for beginning knitters.

The cable also looks nice in solid gray, and then the whole piece knits up quite quickly. For beginning knitters, I therefore recommend knitting this vest completely without the cable and/or in one color .
