Here's a super cute sweater vest that I made for my nephew, Jonah. He is always dressed in layers, but I know that he spends a lot of time on the move so I decided to make this little cutie so he'd have full range of movement in his arms.
The pattern is a free Ravelry download, called the Lola Vest. I'm going to rename it The Frankie, in honor of a former student of mine who wore a sweater vest every single day that I ever had him in class for 3 whole school years. This was the first knitting project where I had to pick up stitches on edges. I was very careful to make the stitches evenly spaced and I think it actually came out rather well. It was an added challenge to make the V neck actually look like a V. Mine doesn't totally look like the photo, but it did come out pretty cute!
I tried it on Jonah today and it fits him pretty well right now, so I'm going to give it to him early, instead of waiting until Christmas! My next vest will be a cable knit one...since I was able to teach myself the cable stitch this weekend.
