Baby vest


As promised in last week's post, here is the finished baby vest. It was so quick and easy. It could have been done in one weekend if I had plugged away at it. This is for baby #2 of the 5 new babies at work this year. (Baby #1's outfit was posted in May) The yarn was from a Lorna's Laces kit that I won at a knitting get-away weekend (Another good reason to go on knitting vacation -- free or good buys on beaufiful yarn) I think I have enough yarn leftover for another newborn vest --2 gifts for $0! With 3 more to go, the price is right.

I created the pattern on the fly, and while I think it will fit, I'll make the neck a little wider for the next one. Those babies have big heads.
