FIT & SIZE GUIDE

The notorious kids’ vest is knit from the top down and has a loose fit. The intended length is “to the hip”. The length is easy to adapt.

The notorious kids’ vest has a recommended positive ease of 12-18 cm. The sizes represent the height of the child and fit a chest circumference of 50-54 (52-56) 54-58 (56-60) 58-62 (60-64) 62-66 (65-72) 68-74 (71-76) 74-80 cm.

My suggestion is to use a wool yarn of sport weight held together with a fingering yarn or a DK weight wool yarn. I have made samples in Rauma finull held together with Jawoll sock from Lang yarns as well as 3-tr wool from Kampes.
