    The document provides instructions for making a baby vest out of yarn using knitting techniques.

    The materials needed are 2 skeins of yarn in a purple color, knitting needles sized 4.5mm, and a few yards of contrasting yarn for the ties.

    The vest is constructed by knitting separate pieces - a front, back, and sleeves. These pieces are then sewn together leaving gaps for the armholes and neck opening.

    Baby Fireside Vest

    Materials needed:
     2 skeins Premier Yarns Purple Marl Everyday Soft yarn.
     4.5mm straight knitting needles
     *needles and/or yarn can be changed, as long as you
    ensure you have the proper gauge*
     A few yards of yarn in a contrasting color, for the ties. I
    recommend single-strand yarn or thread, so you can use
    multiple strands and braid them together.

    CO: Cast on
    BO: bind off

    Putting it all together


    The Body

    First, take the long front piece, fold it in half, and stitch up the back of the hood section.

    Second, attach the front left and front right shoulder sections to the back piece, making sure the garter rows on the back
    piece run vertically, not horizontally. Then stitch up the sides, leaving approximately 3 ¼ (3 ¾, 4 ¼) inch gaps for where
    the armholes will be.

    Last, seam the bottom of the hood to the back section. There may be more hood stitches than back stitches, but that’s
    okay. Just distribute them as evenly as possible.
    The Sleeves

    The sleeves are super easy to finish. Just fold them up


    the shoulder as far as you’d like, and stitch around to
    keep them in place.

    Knitting the bottom band


    Pick up and knit stitches around the bottom of the vest. For
    every garter ridge on the body (a ridge is composed of two
    rows), pick up one stitch.

    Work these stitches in garter until the band measures 1 (1 ½,


    1 ¾) inches from pick-up.
    BO all stitches.
    Adding the ties
    With your small amount of contrasting yarn, make the four ties. Take lengths of yarn measuring approximately
    14 inches each, and hitch them to the body where you’d like the ties to be. To create a hitch, follow the
    pictures below:

    Note that for each tie, I used 6 lengths of single-strand thread held together. After hitching, I then braided the
    strands and placed a knot at the end to prevent unraveling.

    Weave in all ends, block if needed (it wasn’t needed for the featured vest), and enjoy!
