It doesn’t get any cuter than this, a sweet little vest with a fringe of hearts. Match it with pretty buttons and it will be a heart’s delight for a sweet little cutie.
Instructions for the heart fringe is given in both text and drawings.
The pattern is previously published in my book Sugar and Spice.
