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