My son has been begging for a Pirates of The Caribbean vest for a long time. Since it is summer I decided to go the cotton route. He loves it, especially the stitching detail.

Vest is knit in the round from the bottom up. Neck and arm edges are added, knit in the round.

Skills Required: knitting in the round, basic decreases, changing color (stripes)
