Hurrah for Spring, and for babies delightfully showing off their little arms!

Introducing the Canonbury Baby Vest, an ideal layering piece for your little one as they enjoy the warmer weather. This charming vest allows babies to keep their arms free for wriggling and playing, while parents will love the added layer of warmth it provides. Not only is the Canonbury Vest practical, but it also features a fun contemporary design that makes it enjoyable to knit.

What sets the Canonbury Vest apart is its unique approach to vertical stripes on knitted garments. With clever construction techniques, these stripes become a breeze to achieve. The vest is worked sideways, incorporating increases and decreases to shape the neck and armholes seamlessly. The central panel, which beautifully runs down both the front and back, showcases a stunning slipped stitch mosaic pattern. This eye-catching feature is surprisingly simple to knit, requiring only one color per row and avoiding the complications of stranding or detailed charts.

To create your own Canonbury Baby Vest, you’ll need three distinct colors of yarn, and the pattern is flexible enough to allow you to knit any size using 25g or less of each color. For the smallest two sizes, you’ll need less than 20g of each color, making it an economical choice for your knitting projects.
