Making sweater vests for Marko

Spring is approaching and my little sister was looking for new sweater vests for Marko.

She couldn't find anything she likes in the store, so I came up with my own pattern, 

inspired by Marko Argyle Vest I made for him a few year ago.

I started by the back first, easy to start with and pretty straight forward.

I liked the stripe repeat a lot. It gives it a little style for my little man.

Then the front.

Here it is more difficult and requires more calculation.

Lucky for me math was never an issue :-)

As I was making the pattern as I was knitting, I decided that I wouldn't be knitting in the round 

so I had to sew the pieces together, something I like less and less.

I managed to master the finishing technique (after so many years) and it is almost invisible!!

Pattern: My own, available soon

Size : 4 to 5 year old

Yarn: Katia Mississippi 3, 

Fingering / 4 ply

60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic

Pattern turned out pretty easy and quick, yarn is light, 

perfect for spring, summer and fall 

as long as little Marko doesn't grow out of it too fast!!
