This little vest is so much fun to knit. It's worked in a bulky yarn so it works up very quickly. The revere stockinette background really highlights the turtle. Don't you just want to tickle that little turtle?
The vest is designed to work for baby. Both straps attach to the back with buttons making this piece easy to fit over baby’s head. The ribbing is carried up the side so the vest is stretchy and wearable for a long time. The I-Cord bind off around the neck creates a pretty finished edge.
The turtle is really fun to knit. Instructions for the turtle are both charted and written so you have options. The turtle is just a combination of knit and purl stitches, a few simple twists, and basic increases and decreases. Easy peasy!
The vest is written for 2 sizes - 3-6 and 6-12 months.
