Marta’s pink vest
Here it is! I finished Marta’s pink vest. Lovely pattern, very quick knit. I find vests an indispensable item in children’s wardrobes. They are very versatile, good to use outdoors, under a jacket during the Autumn and early Spring and indoors during Winter. Marta gets hot very easily so I find vests great for when we are inside where a sweater would be too much for her. I really tried to get a good picture of her (over days!) but there was no way she would colaborate, sorry about the blur.
The pattern is Girl’s cap sleeved spring shirt by Shellee Floyd and I used Patons classic wool merino on 4 and 5 mm needles (US 6 and 8).
Aqui está! Eu terminei a vest cor de rosa para a Marta. Ótima receita, super rápida de tricotar. Eu acho coletes um ítem indispensável no armário das crianças. Elas são bem versáteis, boas de usar do lado de fora por debaixo do casaco durante o outono ou começo da primavera e dentro de casa durante o inverno. Marta é uma criança calorenta, então para ela o colete é perfeito para a casa ou escola uma vez que um casaco seria muito quente. Eu tentei tirar uma boa foto dela vestida com o colete, mas não houve jeito dela colaborar. Desculpe a falta de foco!
O modelo é Girl’s cap sleeved spring shirt by Shellee Floyd e eu usei o fio Patons classic wool merino em agulhase de 4 e 5 mm.
Its adorable, I love the sleeves.

So sweet! That looks perfect for wearing around the house. I really like the yoke collar and cap sleeves. I’m working on a vest for Finn right now too.

that sweater is so sweet! thanks for the link. I’ve been wanting to knit vests for my girls, too. (though I have a lot to learn. I just finished a sweater that I originally intended for myself but got the sizing a LITTLE bit off. My 6-year-old now owns it. oops)
