Your little man will look dapper in this vest with a center diamond design.

The vest is worked in the round from the bottom up, split at the armholes, and fronts and back are finished separately. Mattress stitch joins the shoulders. The design and texture is achieved with just knit and purl stitches. It’s a quick knit with enough design to keep it interesting.

Skills needed beyond basic knit and purl:
decreasing (ssk & k2tog)
Mattress stitch (to join shoulders)
picking up stitches
