Girls vest 2, 4 , 6, 8 and 10 years - easy knitting pattern with super bulky yarn

Vest Cailin is a versatile piece of clothing that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. I have knitted these vests with a yarn with yarn weight: super chunky / super bulky. Easy and fast to knit and perfect for winter layering

Vest Cailin is knitted bottom up and is easy to knit. It is knitted in the round till the armholes. Then divided in a front and back piece and knitted flat. You don’t have to increase or decrease stitches and you only have to know knit and purl stitches. There is no front or back to this vest. Both sides are identical.
After knitting you have to sew the shoulder seams.

This vest is described in 5 sizes (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years) and the pattern is available in English and Dutch.

Level easy; you must have knowledge of:
o Slip stitches (I have explained them in the pattern)
o Knit and Purl stitches
o Knitting in the round
