This adorable vest takes everyday clothes to the next level. Stylish colors and interesting texture make this vest a perfect fit for any young girl! Dress it up with a lacy blouse underneath or go casual with a long sleeve t-shirt. This vest will work for almost any occasion!

This sweet sweater vest begins with a picot cast on and is knit in the round up to the arm holes. It is then divided into the back and two front sections where each section is knit flat. The only seams are at the tops of the shoulders. The ribbed scoop neck and arm holes allow for ample movement and make it easy to take on and off.
