Product Details
The basic kids’ vest gets a fun upgrade with cables, zigzags, optional bobbles, and mood-lifting color! The body is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. The front and back are each knit flat and then seamed at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up to work the armbands and neckband, respectively.
