The Striped Vest Kids is a cheerful, practical layering piece, perfect for keeping little ones warm during everyday adventures. Knit mainly in garter stitch with bold, rhythmic stripes, it combines softness, comfort, and timeless style. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the vest features neat ribbing, gentle shaping, and a construction that feels both approachable and fun. It knits up quickly and offers plenty of room for creativity: choose two favorite shades for a classic stripe or mix colors to create your own playful palette.
