neighbourly knitted vest
Ta-da! It’s finally done! The project I started right before L’s birth was presented to my girl on her 3rd birthday.
Things I love about this pattern:
:: The boatneck – an easy on/off sweater for a wiggly toddler
:: The large button accent – a fun way to add individuality to the sweater
:: The top down knit – no seaming!
And the thoughtfulness behind the idea of this design by Jennifer of JCasa Handmade. So perfectly suited as a birthday gift for my BIG girl.
Yarn: Stylecraft DK (main grey colour) and Noro Silk Garden (contrasting colour)
Pattern: by JCasa Handmade
I left the ribbing around the armholes off, and next time I would extend the length a little longer (by about one inch or so).
The button I chose for K’s Neighbourly is cut from a walnut-shell. How perfect, huh?
The pattern was so simple to knit that I’m thinking some more Neighbourly vests are in order for a couple of other special little ones with birthdays coming up, too!
I love this little vest and you chose marvelous colors. I can see where the looseness at the bottom would appeal to a young one. If I could, I would make one for me! And I would love it if you made a scarf for a college-bound orphan — I can’t believe you don’t have red yarn. I could loan you some (haha).
Gorgeous! You did a fab job, as always. The perfect toddler vest, love the colours too. I can’t believe K is 3 already…
Mine has a birthday coming up! I’m just saying…
Lovely as always Mama. Hope you are all well. xo
