Easy knitting pattern baby slipover / sleeveless sweater vest for children

This baby vest provides gentle warmth to your little one’s chest and back throughout the year. In summer, when knitted from lightweight yarn like cotton, it can be worn comfortably as a soft top on bare skin or layered over a bodysuit or shirt. In winter, made from wool, it adds an extra layer of warmth under thicker baby clothes.

The vest is knitted almost seamlessly in one piece from the bottom up in the round, making it an ideal project for beginners. It’s also a beautiful handmade gift — for a birth, a birthday, or simply just because.

You should be able to: Cast on, knit and bind off stitches.

From size newborn to approx 5 years for toddler and bigger children.
