Baby boats
Welcome to our delightful seamless vest knitting pattern, perfect for keeping your little one cozy and stylish! This charming vest is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. After reaching the armholes, the fronts and back are finished flat, allowing for comfortable button closures on each shoulder, making it easy to dress your baby. The standout feature of this design is the whimsical boat motif, which is crafted in reverse stocking stitch against a smooth stocking stitch background. Please note that there is a chart provided exclusively for the boats motif, ensuring your artistic vision comes to life.
To create this adorable vest, you will need a 40cm (16in) 4mm (US6) circular needle (or the size that helps you achieve the correct gauge), along with 2 stitch holders. Depending on the size you choose, you will require between 200 and 340 meters (approximately 219 to 372 yards) of high-quality cotton yarn. This project is specifically designed to be knit in cotton for the best texture and durability. Remember, achieving the gauge is essential, and it should be checked after blocking. While cotton is recommended, feel free to substitute with other yarns that provide good stitch definition and a solid color to beautifully showcase the boat motif.
Our charming vest pattern is available in a range of sizes: 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months, expertly tailored to fit chest measurements of 40.5, 43, 45.5, 48, 50.5, and 53 cm (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 inches). Upon completion, the finished chest measurements will be 47.25, 49, 51, 52.75, 56.25, and 58.25 cm (18.5, 19.25, 20, 20.75, 22.25, and 23 inches), ensuring a perfect fit for your little one.
In this project, you'll have the opportunity to practice various techniques, enhancing your knitting skills while creating a stylish garment that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
