PATTERN DESCRIPTION:
Warm up your little one with this sweet vest! Knit in a bulky yarn this quick to knit vest features a fun to knit turtle for tickling bellies.

Instructions for the turtle are both charted and written. Both straps attach to the back with buttons making this piece easy to fit over baby’s head. The ribbing is carried up the side so the vest is stretchy and wearable for a long time. The I-Cord bind off around the neck creates a pretty finished edge.

The 3-6 months size has an 18” chest and the 6-12 months size has a 19” chest.
