An easy knit in three sizes for 9 - 12 months, 2 years, 3 years. Different sizes are achieved by changing yarn weight and needle size - all three sizes are knitted exactly the same way - no changes in stitch counts to keep track of!

Above gauge and yardage are for the large size. Size Large uses Malabrigo Worsted and size US 9 and 10 1/2 needles. Medium size uses Jojoland Baritone and sizes US 7 and 9 needles. Small size uses Fibra Natura Cobblestone and sizes US 5 and 7 needles.

You will need to know how to make a basic cable, how to pick up and knit stitches, and how to knit in the rounds (neck and armhole ribbings).

Great for boy or girl. Directions for single and two color vest included.
