Baby Blossom Heartwarming Vest - Wednesdays, April 2, April 9, April 16 & April 30 - 10 am - 11 am

You’ll have a blast knitting with Baby Blossom Chunky, a self-patterning yarn that creates a stunning floral effect, while learning to knit a basic children’s vest! Pattern is for 5 sizes starting from a 24” chest (approximately from age 5+). The chunky yarn makes it a quick, satisfying knit, and you’ll learn how to incorporate the unique patterning in the yarn to create a colorful “floral” band. This is a great advanced-beginner bottom-up sweater project that’s knit in the round. The yarn comes in gorgeous pastel palettes, making the perfect spring gift for the little ones in your life!

What you’ll learn:

• Sweater construction & shaping basics

• Pattern adjustment for the self-patterning “flowers” section

• Using stitch holders

• 3-needle Bind Off

• Picking up stitches

• Lace Bind Off
