What You'll Need:

Knitting the Vest:

Start by casting on 48 stitches for the back of the vest using your chosen yarn color. Work in stockinette stitch for 5 rows.

Next, switch to the butterfly pattern:

Row 1: (RS) K1, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K4, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K4, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K4, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K4, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K1, P1, K1

Repeat these two rows until you have reached the desired length for the vest.

Once you have finished the back of the vest, you can move on to the front. Cast on 24 stitches for each side of the front using your chosen yarn color. Work in stockinette stitch for 5 rows. Next, switch to the butterfly pattern and continue knitting until you reach the desired length.

Once you have completed the front and back of the vest, you can seam the shoulders together and pick up stitches around the armholes. Knit in stockinette stitch for 3 rows and then bind off. Finally, seam up the sides of the vest and add any embellishments, such as buttons or a cute ribbon.

With just a few simple knitting techniques, you can create a beautiful and unique baby vest with a butterflies pattern that your little one is sure to love!
