HOW TO KNIT A BABY VEST FROM TOP DOWN
KNITTING A BABY VEST
We knitted slippers, hats, it's time for something bigger, like a cardigan. Well, it won't be that big because it's baby, but it's still a garment, not an accessory. We are progressing with creativity!
You think - what so much, baby vest! It looks easy to knit, nothing special. Yes but no. Knitting is a creative process and is constantly evolving. Baby vests too - different knits, sleeves, appliques, even starting from the bottom or from the top ... Yes, I'm not mistaken, read correctly: The baby vest can start from the bottom up and from the top down.
TOP-DOWN TECHNIQUE - WHAT IS NEEDED
You can knit a baby vest at 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 months. Depending on the age, the stitches are different in number.
It seems appropriate to tell here how to knit a cardigan for the little ones - babies from 3 to 6 months. Their standard chest circumference is 51 cm.
Get caught! You need a hoop or straight needles № 3 (socks), an etamine needle, 6 to 8 buttons (don't wonder how long they will be) and of course yarn. You know there's a special one for baby knits - well, use one. The model I am telling you about has tulip applications - it will make you a little more springy and cheerful. Yarn colors: green - 2-3 balls of 50 g (for the base of the vest, stems and leaves of tulips), brown - 1-2 balls of 50 g (for the background of the garden of tulips), and 1 ball beige (for outlining the garden) and yellow or red or whatever color are your favorite tulips (for colors).
You will knit the vest from top to bottom, starting with an elastic band around the neck.
