Arlo & Alice

Introducing the Arlo & Alice Sweater Vest, a charming unisex seamless top-down knit design perfect for babies and children aged from infant to 8 years. This delightful vest is the miniature version of my popular adult pattern, the [Abbi Shawl Collar Cardigan][1]. With its versatile sizing and stylish design, the Arlo & Alice Sweater Vest serves as the perfect layering piece for both boys and girls during the chilly fall and winter months.

Crafted using aran or bulky-weight yarn, this fast-knit pattern is ideal for knitters looking to complete a cozy project quickly. The pattern features dual design options: you can choose between an all-over striped version for a playful look or a stylish stripes-at-the-bottom version for added flair. This flexibility allows you to explore a myriad of color combinations, making each vest a unique expression of creativity.

To enhance your knitting experience, an easy-to-follow photo tutorial is included in the pattern, guiding you through the steps to create an optional patch pocket. This pocket is featured in the photographed “stripes-at-bottom” version and adds a functional and fashionable element to the vest.

Both sample vests were knitted using the luxurious Berroco Vintage Chunky yarn. The “stripes-all-over” version was crafted in the 0-6 month size, while the “stripes-at-bottom” version showcases the 2-year size. Whether you are knitting for your own little one or making a thoughtful gift, the Arlo & Alice Sweater Vest is sure to be a cherished addition to any child's wardrobe.

With its combination of style, functionality, and ease of knitting, the Arlo & Alice Sweater Vest is a must-have pattern for all knitting enthusiasts. Get ready to bring warmth and joy to your little ones this season!
