Little Boy Blue
For the sword outwears its sheath,
And the soul outwears the breast,
And the coat outwears the pants,
Till there's nothing left but the vest.

2 buttons
8 minutes
1 finished baby vest
Wow that was fast!
(The color was truer in Monday's photograph, however. More of a slate blue.)
Little Boy Blue Vest
Pattern: Textured Stripe Vest
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim Aran in Stonewashed - this used 2 skeins with 1 yd to spare - about 140 yds total!
Needles: US 6 Brittany Birch straights
Notes: My gauge was 4.5 sts/in rather than the 5.5 sts/in called for, so I cast on 40 sts and used the numbers for the small size with the measurements for the 3rd size (12 mos).
Best Thing About This Project: While I don't think baby boys need all blue, I do think they look cute in SOME blue. Here it is.

It's pretty adorable. Man, I love baby knits.
So cute! So, the stonewashed look CAN be cute...interesting... ;)
I agree, that's just the right touch of blue. :)
Cute! Perfect blue. You can't deprive boys of blue just because of a color cliche.
Adorable, and since it's a powdery blue it's not over-the-top...
Precious! I love it. Mind if I link? I have a thing for baby items.
It turned out great. I love it!
I love it! The color is very gracious!
