The vibrancy of the color combination puts this vest right in the Op Art category. I worked both the front and the back in the slip stitch pattern so your baby will look as good going as coming!
The slip stitch technique is an easy way to work with two colors: you only work one color at a time so there isn't the hassle of tangling the yarns or pulling your floats too tight across the back. The rolled v-neck and armbands are easy to pick up and work.
The yarns are Lion Brand Cotton in Boysenberry, and Peaches & Creme in Peacock. These are both worsted-weight, non-mercerized cottons that have a nice hand and work up quickly at 4 stitches to an inch on size 7 needles (needles not included.
The kit contains enough yarn to make the largest size plus complete instructions.
The kit is for sizes 6, 12, or 18 months (finished chest measurement: 19"/21"/23".
