Looking for a toddler / small child vest pattern? This one is knit in one piece to the armholes and then divides for the shoulders. The fair-isle patterning on the lower body is fairly simple as are the suns on the front shoulders. The reindeer on the back are a little more challenging but so worth the effort.

Pattern includes notes on Corrugated Ribbing, Gauge when working with Fair-Isle, and 3-needle bind-off.

Loganbearie the bear is showing off the vest - it is the larger version of his vest! Both are Christmas presents for my Grandson.

Loganbearies sweater is a free pattern that you can use as a gauge swatch for the full-size vest!
