Level of Difficulty - Intermediate
A vest is a great garment for in-between weather, keeping the body warm but the arms free for active playing. Harper is made entirely in one piece, from the bottom up, with clever short-row shaping and a three-needle cast off on the shoulders. With so many great (machine-washable!) yarn options in 8ply, you’ll be knitting a whole wardrobe of vests for your young people! Harper has a sibling pattern, Henry, who is made with traditional flat pieces and is sewn together. Georgie and Grace are their smaller siblings, available in sizes prem-12m.
