Fisherman’s Rib Slipover Knitting Pattern PDF Baby Toddler Vest 0 - 6 Years DK
Knit a cosy everyday layer with this fisherman’s rib slipover pattern. The softly textured fabric, classic V-neck and sleeveless shape make it ideal for wearing over a T-shirt or little collared shirt.
Worked in DK yarn, the design features a repeating knit-below stitch pattern, shaped armholes and neat 1×1 rib borders around the neckline, armholes and hem. Choose a soft denim blue for a modern look, or make it in your favourite nursery shade.
