Simply The Vest Vest

There's nothing more adorable than kids in their holiday best, including this fun crochet vest. Stitched in Red Heart Super Saver Bitty Stripes, let the yarn do the colorwork as you work in alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches to create your fabric. Practice simple shaping, V-neck, side-to-side ribbing in the back loop, and more! This textured vest is made in 2 pieces and seamed together with an optional gnome appliqué for a fun finishing touch. Available in kids' sizes 2-10, you can make one for all the little gnomes on your list.
