The little one in your life will fall head over heels with this mamatching set. Foxes are an adorable, unisex motif that will recall your favorite characters, from Aesop’s Fables to Richard Scarry.
The beanie features a colored chevron motif that is easy on the hand. It is worked entirely in the round from the bottom up and has a snug fit.
The vest follows a raglan construction and is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The lower body is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarms. After completing the lower body, the sleeve cuffs are worked in the round then joined to the body stitches. The yoke is worked in rows to the shoulders and neck. A small chevron motif is placed on the front and turned into a delicate fox muzzle using small round buttons.
