Like the sepals of a flower protect its delicate petals, this wee garter stitch vest knitting pattern will keep the back and shoulders snug whilst serious play is at hand. It’s the perfect accent to any outfit: build your base, pop your vest on top, and you’ll have something super sweet.

This classic and unisex style is designed to fall straight down from the shoulders and sit open, there are no closures to get in your way. Totally reversible, with a simple aesthetic and a simple construction… simply gorgeous!
