Flying Hunter Vest is beautiful and stylish garment for your little one. This unisex vest is fancy to knit and comfortable to wear. It is made in beautiful blue color with aran weight wool yarn. The vest knitted in stockinette with beautiful flying bird (inspired by Hunger Games - mockingjay) at the front. A body of the bird is knitted with intarsia color technique. Tail and wings of bird are knitted separately and attached to the vest with knitter’s needle and piece of yarn. A bottom line of the vest as well as neckline and armholes are decorated with a fancy jagged edge.
