Baby Argyle Vest
I made this one up with only the vaguest, sketchiest plan - I ended up scribbling decrease ratios and armscye bindoffs on my arm with Sharpie as I knit. It's so cute; I wish I could eat this thing up with a spoon.

Absolutely adorable! I love baby sweaters that button at the shoulder so there's no fighting to get the sweater on.

Oh my goodness. That is the sweetest thing! Love it to pieces. The button detail is so smart, too.

Really cute little vest.

Hope your Christmas went well. I love the vest. My baby days are long over, but after Meg graduates College,travels around Europe, then settles down, then maybe I'll be a Grandmother. I hope you got some Knit related Christmas Stuff. Do share what you got, and how they liked their shawls. I got "Folk Shawls", "The Art of Fair Isle Knitting" , and a 50.00 gift cert. to Angel Hair yarns in Nashville! HOLLA!

The intarsia-ed inside looks menacing, but the vest is oh-so cute!!! Congratulations on a great knit!

Really beautiful sweater vest. I love it.

Adorable :) Love the button closure on the shoulders. I laughed when I saw you used Baby Ull - no suprise there :D I've never used it, but I'm coming to love knitting fine gauge items. It's funny to me when size 3's feel huge!

It's so cute, you did a great job with intarsia! And I really like the colours too. You're so talented :)

So cute! And the buttons are a nice touch -- very helpful when you are trying to get something over a baby's head.
You know, Dale of Norway really ought to be paying you! You are an effective spokesknitter for them! :)

Precious! The buttons are a really nice touch.

I LOVE argyle- and that sweater is precious. I must try me some argyle... maybe start with just a little bit on a sock - yeah, yeah....
Posted by: lynda | December 27, 2005 10:16 AM
Adorable. You're so very talented.
Posted by: Stephanie | December 27, 2005 10:32 AM
This is adorable! I really like the colors you chose. I made a similar argyle cardigan for a friend's baby.. but there's no way I could have made up the pattern like you did! You're quite talented.
Posted by: Nancy | December 27, 2005 04:55 PM
That's a cute baby top!
Posted by: Emy | December 28, 2005 03:22 AM

Posted by: blossom | December 28, 2005 12:49 PM
Okay, that is too cute to bear. I absolutely love it!
Posted by: Rachel | December 28, 2005 10:53 PM
Absolutely gorgeous! What a classic design. I love it! I've never knitted with Addi Natura bamboo circular needles. How are the join and cable? Is the cable similar to the Addi Turbos? Thanks.

Eunny! Please can you post the pattern for the Baby Argyle vest. My grandma wants to knit it for my son. It is sooooo difficult to find argyle patterns, even in New Zealand.
