Fibonacci Vest
This pattern is FREE for all previous customers. Enter FibFun at the checkout. Thank you everyone for your support.
Fibonacci was an Italian Renaissance mathematician famous for popularising Indo-Arabic numerals in Europe. In the Fibonacci Sequence each number is the sum of the previous two numbers, thus:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 etc
Like the Golden Ratio, it is thought to form a particularly pleasing pattern to the human eye. This baby vest is a great way to use up a couple of odd balls from your stash and create your own knitted Fibonacci sequence.
The pattern comes in baby size and 3-5 yrs.
Finished chests approximately 46 cm/18” (baby) and 66 or 70 cm/26 or 27.5” (child).
Lengths approximately 27 cm/10.5” (baby) and 37 or 41 cm/14.5 or 16” (child).
Gauge is important for this pattern, particularly row gauge.
