Cabled Baby Vest
by Purl Soho
MATERIALS
- 2 skeins of Rowan’s Purelife DK, 100% organic cotton for the main color. I used Natural #986.
- 1 skein of Rowan’s Purelife DK for the contrast color. This is Logwood #981.
- US 5 (3.75 mm), 16- and 24- inch circular needles
- US 6 (4 mm), 24-inch circular needles
- 3 stitch holders (Optional: you can use scrap yarn to hold your stitches if you prefer.)
- A cable stitch holder (Also optional: you can use a double pointed needle instead. Whether you use a cable stitch holder or a double pointed needle, make sure it is at least one size smaller than the main knitting needle you use.)
- 2 buttons, ½ inch in diameter (I used some old buttons I happened to have, so you won’t find them on our website, but you’ll find other cute options there!)
GAUGE
30 stitches = 4 inches in cable pattern with larger needles
21 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
FINISHED SIZE
3 months to 6 months
- Chest circumference: 19 inches
- Hem to underarm: 6 inches
- Hem to shoulder: 10¼ inches
(Babies come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Try to measure the recipient if you can. If you can’t, rest assured that cotton is quite maleable, stretching with a little blocking and shrinking with a little time in the dryer.)
