For the adorable little one in your life, knit an equally
adorable vest. This playful and cozy vest is a painless knit- it uses slip stitches so you only have to knit with one color each row or round. Vertical stripes provide texture and visual appeal, and the straight cut and fun design will work equally well for a girl or a boy.
