Description
Vests are versatile garments for babies and easy projects for knitters. As an extra layer, vests won’t hinder little arms and legs while still keeping tiny bodies warm without overheating. Also, if made from cotton blends, they can be worn as sleeveless tops in warmer weather. Best of all, they are quick projects for knitters!

These cute little vests use different and easy stitches to create a cozy Kimono Vest (the wrap style construction makes it easy to get on and off), Ribbed Vest, Envelope Neck Vest (also designed for easy dressing) and Twinkle Star Vest your baby can wear throughout a variety of seasons. The cute I-cord ties add a nice touch, but can be omitted.

Materials you need at home:
Knitting needles 3mm (US2.5) and 2.75 mm ( US2), either straight or short circulars, which I find a lot easier to work with.
For the I-cord, additional 2 DPNs in size 2.75mm (US2) 3 ply yarn, you will need up to 100g per vest, regardless of style or size. I suggest Schachenmayr Glanzperle or Sirdar Snuggly 3 ply
Tension/Gauge: 32 sts and 40 rows make 10 cm or 4 " square, over stockinette stitch and the larger needles
