Little Garter Gerkin is a garter stitch vest that is knitted in one piece using short rows. You can use any needles and yarn, this method of pattern takes very little planning and you can adjust and modify the pattern as you work through it. I like to keep the numbers outrageously simple, but it is very very easy to alter and adjust this pattern. I like to understand what I’m doing, how it all works, so I’m giving you the recipe to create the vest rather than all the stitch counts etc. Once you have knitted this once you could knit it for anyone.

Gerkins are what my sister and I called Vests…being a child of the 1970s, Gerkins and Peddlepushers were key parts of our wardrobe!!
