One of my favorite things to knit for my girls is a vest. It usually knits up fast and is very versatile. It is a warm core covering in the cold weather, but also works well in warmer weather. It also allows me to stretch myself and experiment with different stitches without fear of wasting too much yarn, or time! So when I saw the Ewa knitted vest I knew I just had to go for it. This vest is my first attempt at knitting a leaf pattern. You can find the Ewa pattern here:

This vest is knitted in the round. It has a knitted leaf pattern on the bottom front and back. A garter stitch is knitted for the yoke and bottom edge.
Three buttons with crochet loops close up the top front.
Once again I used I Love This yarn from Hobby Lobby. Now I will admit that I love wonderful yarn, but when it comes to children’s clothing you just can’t beat the wash and wear $3.99 for 355 yards, and you can usually find it on sale. It is 100% acrylic, but it is very soft and knits up easy.
Under the knitted vest is a downloadable dress pattern from etsy. You can find it here:
This pattern was super fast and easy. I did not add the big bow on the shoulder because I wanted her to be able to wear it under the vest.
This dress pattern has a big turtle neck and gathered bell bottom sleeves. The fabric is a soft fleece purchased a Hobby Lobby a few years ago. It has big, bold, chunky colors that I absolutely love. Perfect for my sweet and cuddly girl!
