Vest LEO Teddy - knitting pattern | sizes XS-XXL | German & English

With this knitting pattern, you can create a super soft vest in a cozy leopard teddy look – perfect for any season! Thanks to the deep armholes, it’s easy to layer over an oversized T-shirt, a long sleeve, or a blouse. You can chose between the following sizes: XS/S, M/L und XL/XXL!

The instructions are written in a clear and beginner-friendly way, with lots of photos and helpful tips – and since the technique mainly involves knit and purl stitches, it’s the perfect project for beginners with some basic knitting experience!

Construction Overview
The vest is worked flat from the bottom up, starting with the ribbing and afterwards in stockinette stitch using a 7mm circular needle and held double yarn. It is made up of three separate pieces: the back and the two front pieces. After finishing, the pieces are blocked and then sewn together.
