Mini Livstykke is a little baby vest with a special place in the Geilsk story. It is a miniature version of Livstykket, one of the very first designs I created.

The vest has the simple, classic look that I still love – and best of all, it is knitted in one piece and requires no sewing up. No little piles of pieces waiting to be assembled. Just knit it, bind it off and put it to use.

A tiny vest for the smallest ones, with a little piece of Geilsk history knitted into every stitch. ❤️

Yarn alternatives: Any soft yarn that can be knitted on 3 mm needles. There are plenty to choose from. You may need to use a single strand of yarn.

Finished length: 23 (27) 31 cm
Finished chest width: 34 (39) 44 cm
Knitting needle: Circular needle or double pointed needles 3.0 mm + 2 extra needles. Gauge: 28 sts x 38 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette st, or 33 sts x 38 rows in k2/p2 rib. If the vest is worked looser, then the vest will be slightly larger. At some point it will fit.
