This suave and sophisticated sweater vest gives an intelligent air to the child who wears it. The solid color highlights the intricacies of the diamond cable panels on the front and the cabled argyle panel in the back.
This vest is knit flat all the way up, with seams only at the tops of the shoulders. The button band is picked up and knit in rice stitch all along the inner edge of the vest. This vest fits comfortably over polo shirts, turtlenecks, and button-downs to wear for almost any occasion!
