At last ..... the weather is getting better. It's warmer
and I can smell spring in the air!
There are spring flowers everywhere, and fields with cute
little gamboling lambs.
Lovely. And I even have a little time today to enjoy it!
This cute little lacy vest top is just perfect for the
warmer days ahead.

How adorable! I will have to make this for my granddaughter! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
It's very pretty Marianna and you always need these for kids just to slip over their heads even in the Summer, thank you for taking the trouble to write out the pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to try these too, Marianna. They are SO cute!!! Thanks so much for sharing these lovely baby ideas and patterns :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your WONDERFUL patterns. They are so easy to follow and work up fast. I've made 2 All-in-One's, 1 Bella Jacket and now I'm working on the Turquoise; the vest will follow. I donate all my knitting and crocheting to American Cancer and two local churches. God bless you for sharing your beautiful creations with us. Nonna in Yorktown
ReplyDeleteSweet!! My favorite is the third one in this lovely fuchsia color :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!!

Super cute for a little girl. You are so generous with your patterns!
ReplyDeleteI would say I was an advanced beginner. Last evening I tried and tried to accomplish the pattern in the lacy vest top. I would K5, yarn over, slip one stitch, K2 together and then try to pass the slip stitch over. Somehow it was not working out the right way. The feeding yarn was with the yarn over, so when I went to psso it was not looking right. Am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteCould you give me the exact width and length for a size 3. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe pattern shows Width - 24" and Length - 14"...which is too big for a size 3.
