Knitting pattern for a baby traditional vest, size 86/92, with intarsia cable





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Not just for Oktoberfest season...

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

150 g merino wool in gray + 50 g merino wool in red, here Schachenmayr Merino Extrafine 120, 50 g – 120 m yardage, gauge according to the label: 22 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm, knitting needles 3.0–4.0; here: knitting needle 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 includes photos.

The red cable on the back is made using the intarsia technique (an illustrated explanation is included) and requires some time and skill—so I would not recommend it for knitting beginners.

The cable also looks lovely in solid gray, and the whole piece is then knitted up quite quickly. For knitting beginners, I therefore recommend knitting this vest completely without the cable and/or in a solid color.
