Late Summer Vest.....
I searched for just over a week for the perfect first project for my new Malabrigo Worsted....
I started a cardi for myself in this gorgeous shade, rich chocolate, but after finishing 1 sleeve decided to rip it.... Don't you hate that????
But, then I found this - A Plain Vest.....

And it's just PERFECT!!!
I made the size 1 for my size 2 (26month old), added an extra inch to the body length before starting on the sleeves and cast on 4 extra st's on each sleeve.
This little project used less than 1 100g skein of Malabrigo Worsted and took just under 2 nights on the couch worth of knitting (approx 4 hours). I love how the colours of this kettle dyed yarn give it an almost aged look to this super cute 'Late Summer Vest' - Malabrigo I am in LOVE!!!!!

oooooh you've got malabrigo! I ADORE malabrigo! I've just finished knitting a vest for my husband in it for his birthday and am halfway through a jumper for myself. It's such scrumptious wool - so soft and rich and the colours are gorgeous! Lovely vest - and I'm with anonymous - we need an adult version :-) Well done!
