This cute little cabled vest is worked with steeks at the front and armholes, and is the perfect place to practice steeking if you’re not familiar with the technique. Detailed photos are included in the pattern to guide you through the machine stitching, cutting, and finishing.

Worked in an Aran weight yarn, this is a great example of how the Norwegian finishing techniques can even be used effectively on an infant size garment.
