With a house full of boys, it’s hard to find stylish coordinating outfits in every size. This sweater vest uses five different colors to give each boy his own look while still complementing his brothers. Of course, this vest looks great on girls as well. Play around with colors to create a unique look for the young ones in your life!
This sweater vest 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 v-neck and arm holes allow ample movement and make it easy to take on and off. This versatile vest can go over button-downs, polo shirts, or turtlenecks to make it stylish for any season!
