If you have little boys who are always warm, this hooded vest may be ideal for them. The dramatic staghorn cable is very simple to knit, but looks far more elaborate than it is! Low-key I-cord edging is used for a smooth, professional-looking finish. The subtle heathery greens in this yarn will suit any little boy’s wardrobe and will go with everything.
Knit from the bottom up in the round, it is divided at the armhole and shoulders are joined using a three needle bind off.
