’Vaders’ is inspired by the iconic Space Invaders game characters.

The 4-page pattern booklet includes full-colour charts and schematic. The pattern covers four children’s sizes.

The tank top (vest) is knitted in the round to the armholes, then front and back are knitted flat in rows. The shoulders are gently shaped with short rows, and front and back are finished with a three-needle bind off at the shoulder. The tank top (vest) is completed with ribbing around armholes and neckline.
