Easy Peasy Baby Jacket: Sleeveless Vest Version Using Rowan Cotton Wool
The Design
What’s even easier than an Easy Peasy Baby Jacket? An Easy Peasy Baby Vest! Just leave the sleeves off this little project from our Wee Ones collection, and you’ll get something just as cute and practical. All in garter stitch and with no front or neck bands, this tiny vest is simple to make and too adorable for words.
The Easy Peasy Baby Vest was knit in lightweight, oh, so soft Rowan Cotton Wool—a beautiful worsted-weight blend of organic cotton and merino wool. Cotton Wool’s chainette-style strand gives a bouncy structure to this airy, breathable fiber combo. It’s perfect for a comfy, cuddly vest!
