Archie Vest PDF

Designed by Megan Carey of Tigs Togs

Made with less than 50 g of Bendigo Woollen Mills Cotton, this new knitting pattern will fit a newborn baby in its tiniest size. The largest size will fit up a baby 3 - 6 months old. Knitted from the lower edge up on circular needles, this vest is seamless up to the armholes where it is knit flat to create the neckline shaping. Smaller needles are used for the edging.
