Blank Canvas Child's Vest
Wow, thought I better make a start on blogging July or it will be August and there will be a big pile of nothing in my archives!
This is Cari Luna's fab Blank Canvas Child's Vest pattern (www.dogsstealyarn.com), knit in Jaeger Baby Merino (contrast colour) and Miss Bab's Superwash Merino Worsted Weight (colour Saturn) for main colour (www.woolgirl.com). Size 3 years (with extra 2" added to bottom) My little guy is 26 months old and tall with a long torso! Not to mention heartbreakingly cute ;o)
I'll definitely be making more of these!
Ahhhh... I don't know which is cuter, Oscar or his vest!

Sooo cute! He is very handsome in his adorable vest. I love how the blue of his eyes picks up the blue in the yarn and the green pants and leaves do the same for the greens in the yarn. Stunning all around!

This is just too too cute. I love the colours but my goodness what beautiful eyes he has.

That is a great vest pattern! I made so many vests for my children when they were young. They all wore like iron and I have a friend who is still using some of the vests I made! (that is amazing to me since the children who wore those particular vests are 18 and 20 now!)I always seemed to add extra length as well.
VERY cute model you've got there!!!!

Hi, Kellie - thanks for the comments! I don't think that the Rum Runners will pool...they are VERY well dyed. I had no issues at all. I knit mine toe up, so they are 56 stitches then increased to 60 at the cuff. I did try a picot edge and I wasn't happy with it, but that is just me.
That vest is adorable!!!
