With the gray rainy days, it was perfect weather to stay in and do some knitting. And so I was thinking of making a diagonal stitch hat. But when it turn out to be a bit too big, I turned it into a baby vest instead.
It still has to be blocked, which is to wash and stretch into shape. Could possibly fit a 12-18 months old.
This is the first baby vest I knitted without any pattern. It was fairly easy but I just don’t know of any baby that could model for me. So I guess it will have to sit for a while. Maybe until my cousin’s baby is old enough to wear it. And that will be in no time!
Once I got to the arm I stopped and knitted the front and back side separately. I then connected the shoulders via Kitchener Stitch Grafting.
Knitting note: Casting on 90 sts, knit from bottom up. 45 sts in front and back. Size 7 circular 24″ needle. The bottom section is knitted with diagonal stitch and top section is with Gartner stitch.
