Birthday Boy Vest
In February 2013 this pattern was updated. The instructions are clearer and cover more sizes.
I love my son, I love merino and I love seamless work.
I’ve decided to put all my loves into one pattern - a top-down seamless vest, which will be perfect for my son’s first birthday next week. :-)
