Kids vest shown in mustard

A super simple pattern for an adorable kids vest, which matches the adult version.

This pattern covers ages 2-11, so you can create these little tank tops for every stage of their childhood!

Using just knit and purl stitch, you will create matching panels which you’ll then sew together leaving a gap for the neckline and armholes. You can make it like a slouchy layer or a more fitted top, depending on what your child likes to wear.

This kit is for a single colour vest, we also have a remnants kit here.

Super sweet and perfect for all year round!
