Another vest in the spirit of all things academic. I can't help myself - vests are just way too cute on baby boys. I wrote the pattern up, but I think I'll try a second version at a larger size before sharing it (Milo is 18lbs...so I think I'll work with 12 months sizing next). I also want to slightly modify the neckline. I like the seed stitch border on the outer edge and I think repeating it on the inside (therefore making the center panel a bit wider) will just "neaten" the overall look. I can admit it - selvedges are just one of those things I care WAY too much about.
Anyone out there interested in this pattern? Is a 12 month size something you're looking for?
Holy crap, Milo is cute. I mean, nice vest too, but the eyes on that baby are somethin' else!
ReplyDeleteWhat vest? All I see is a delicious baby. I want to roll him in butter and put him between two halves of a bun.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this book? I don't knit, but I flipped through it when I saw it in the store, and thought you'd love it.

Though your son is lucky that you knit for him, he is far luckier that you're so good at knitting. I am currently knitting my daughter as sweater of my signature "wonky" variety. I will have to stop making her clothing when she is smart enough to know that shoulders should be symmetrical. Until then...
ReplyDeletelove the vest...your baby looks so adorable and cozy in it! i would love that in 18-24 months size. so fun knitting for little boys!
ReplyDeleteVery cute vest!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via Ravelry, I also really like the t-shirt vest you made for Milo.
And yes, I would be interested in the "prototype" pattern for a 12 months old - my son is 8 1/2 months old but quite tall.
