Windsor Vest

The Windsor Vest is a charming Fair Isle vest designed specifically for children, featuring delightful pops of vibrant colors that will capture their imagination. This classic piece not only offers a festive primary color scheme but also showcases additional depth and a subtle sheen, thanks to the luxurious yet practical Tough Love Sock yarn from SweetGeorgia Yarn. Ideal for those new to colorwork, the vest is skillfully worked in the round from the bottom up and incorporates a steeking technique, making it an excellent choice for a first steeking project. For those looking for alternatives, SweetGeorgia Bulletproof Sock yarn is a recommended substitute for the Tough Love Sock, available on LoveKnitting in various colors that differ slightly from the original palette. The Windsor Vest pattern calls for the following colors: Mist (blue), Ginger (gold), Cherry (red), Birch (white), and Auburn (brown). Each color selection contributes to the vest’s playful aesthetic, ensuring that your little one will not only look stylish but also feel cozy and comfortable. Craft this delightful Windsor Vest and give the young ones in your life a unique, handmade garment that will keep them warm and playful, while also providing an engaging knitting experience. Perfect for upcoming holidays or as a thoughtful gift, this vest is sure to be a treasured item in any child's wardrobe!
