This little vest pattern comes from
Debbie Bliss Essential Baby.
I have really wanted to make a little something from this book, and am working on the pinny for Ava, but row after row of seed stitch on size 3 needles was wearing on my patience, so I left that on a holder for a bit and started in on this little vest for a friend's soon to be born son.
I used a pale blue Peruvian wool from a local yarn shop-it is much softer when knit.
I do not so much enjoy the picking up of stitches once a garment is knit, but this attempt went much better than the attempt on Knit #4, which I still can't bring myself to show publicly! I need to finish weaving in the ends and sew on a button, and it will be wrapped up with the matching hat in a 3-6 month size (hopefully!) for this fall.
