Neighborly: simple child’s vest

Jennifer from JCHandmade sent in this link to her new free PDF download for this adorable neighborly vest – I like the name neighborly and Jennifer has chosen this name deliberately – see her post with her ideas on how to be neighborly and charitable with this pattern.

Neighborly is a simple vest sized for a child, intended to keep them warm at their core while not overheating them during all the running about that kiddos do. interest is created by the wide boatneck collar knit in a contrasting yarn which is further accented by a large button. stitches are picked up around the collar’s edge and the piece is knit in the round from the top-down — there is no seaming whatsoever and only a bit of additional stitching at the hemline and weaving in the ends. this is a satisfying quick knit that is perfect for layering throughout the seasons.
