Inspired by beautiful blooming flowers of spring and summer, the Daffodil Vest is the perfect layering piece. A-line shaping, a simple lace motif, and square-indented armholes make this pattern simple, and a great introduction to lace and garment knitting. Knit in our soft, anti-pilling Uptown Baby Sport, this lightweight popover is perfect for every season.

PATTERN NOTES
This vest is knit flat from the bottom up and seamed. It features a square indented armhole. Stitches for the neckband and armhole edging are picked up and knit in the round during finishing.

Regarding yarn requirements, sizes XS, 1X, and 4X take up nearly all of the suggested yarn. Although a buffer is included in the yarn requirements, you may wish to purchase an extra skein as insurance.
