Warm vest for 2 years, knitted with a relief pattern, an indispensable element in a child's wardrobe. On a walk or at home, it will perfectly protect the baby from the cold and at the same time will not hinder movement, which is very important for a little fidget. In order for the vest to retain heat well, it is better to choose wool or wool blend children's yarn. It will not “bite” and will easily withstand frequent washing.
For a vest for 2 years you will need:
- 200 g of medium thickness yarn,
- knitting needles No. 4.5
- and a detachable zipper 35 cm long.
The product combines two patterns: “rice” and fantasy. The first one should be knitted, alternating 1 persons. p, 1 p. p. In purl rows, knit rows should be knitted with purls, and purls with knit stitches.
A fantasy pattern in the form of relief diamonds is made according to the following scheme:
The calculation of the loops is given for a density of 16 p. x 20 r. = 10 x 10 cm.
The knitted vest for 2 years consists of three parts: a back and two symmetrical shelves.
Back
For the back, cast on 53 sts. Make the first 4 rows with a “rice” pattern. It will perfectly replace traditional elastic and will prevent the fabric from curling.
Then switch to a fantasy pattern. You should knit evenly, without changing the number of loops in the work.
At a height of 22 cm from the cast-on edge, it is necessary to make decreases to form armholes. In order for the edge to be rounded, you need to close 3 stitches 1 time, 1 stitch 2 times on each side.
As a result, 43 stitches will remain in the work. They should continue to be knitted evenly with a fancy pattern. When the depth of the armhole reaches 14 cm, all the loops need to be transferred to an auxiliary knitting needle and this part should be put aside.
Right and left shelves
Cast on 27 sts. The front is knitted together with the placket, the stitches of which are included in the calculation. As on the back, the bottom of the shelf is made with a “rice” pattern. After 4 rows, on the first three loops (not counting the edge loop), you should continue the “rice” pattern, and on the remaining loops, switch to a fantasy pattern.
The height and pattern of decreases for the armhole on the front are exactly the same as on the back. Close the loops only on the left side. Next, work must be continued up to 30 cm. Here you need to form a cutout for the neckline.
From the right edge you should close 5 sts 1 time, 2 times 2 sts, 1 time 1 st. There will be 12 sts left on the knitting needle.
When the total length of the shelf is 36 cm, the part needs to be put aside. After this, you need to knit the left shelf in a mirror image. On it, the loops of the strap and the neckline should be located on the left edge, and the armhole on the right.
Gathering, collar, armhole, zipper
Before knitting the stand-up collar, you should connect the open shoulder loops on the back and front (12 stitches on each piece). A vertical loop-to-loop seam is best suited for this. It is practically invisible on the finished product, which avoids gross thickening on the shoulder. The remaining 18 sts of the back should be transferred again to knitting needles No. 4.5.
Along the edge of the neckline of the right front, cast on 66 stitches (24 from each front and 18 stitches from the back).
Knit 8 cm with a “rice” pattern and close without tightening.
Also pick up stitches along the edge of the armhole and knit 2 rows with a “rice” pattern. Then bind off all the loops in one go.
Sew side seams.
Sew a zipper to the strips.
Fold the outer edge of the collar inward and pin it to the neckline.
The knitted vest for 2 years is ready. All that remains is to wash it and dry it on a towel.

A vest, or sleeveless vest, is traditionally associated with something warm, cozy and beautiful. A simple and beautiful sleeveless vest will warm both a woman and a man, a newborn and an older child. Craftswomen who are just starting to knit are quite capable of making a vest using the simplest pattern. Schemes and descriptions of various vests, both women's and children's, are presented on the Internet in large quantities.
Before you start knitting a vest, you need to carefully study the sleeveless vest pattern.
Before you start knitting the simplest sleeveless vest (it is recommended to start with a women's or children's model), you should prepare everything necessary for production fashionable sleeveless vest, you can study a lesson about this. To make knitting easy, you need to carefully study the pattern and description of the model. When knitting a fashionable vest for a woman or child, beginning needlewomen will need:
- Knitting needles. The spoke number is usually indicated in the model description. The coarser the yarn, the thicker the knitting needles, and vice versa.
- Yarn. The number and recommended color of yarn is also indicated in the description. The entire vest must be knitted with yarn of the same thickness, but there can be several colors and shades, especially if the sleeveless vest, knitted with knitting needles, is intended for a child.
- Scheme and description of the sleeveless vest. If the diagram is in a small format, it can be printed enlarged for convenience.
- Needle and thread for tying finished parts of a women's or children's vest together.
- Decor elements. Having finished knitting a vest for a woman or child, you can decorate it with beads, sequins, and crocheted decorative elements. The vest can also be fastened with buttons, in which case the buttons can also play the role of decorative elements.
How to knit a vest for a woman
Vest for women differs from a men's vest mainly in its color scheme and richer decor. If you have made the final decision to knit a women's vest, you should choose yarn in pastel or warm colors. The same applies to vests for children. Before knitting a women's vest, you need to know what elements it consists of.
Traditionally, a vest for a woman or child consists of a back and a front. The front can be solid, or it can be divided into two parts and fastened with buttons, it all depends on the chosen style. Having finished knitting, you need to tie the finished parts together using a needle and thread.
A women's vest, like a sleeveless vest for a child, can be decorate with geometric patterns, fabric appliqué, beads and sequins or knitted decorative elements. Craftswomen who know how to crochet can decorate a women's sleeveless vest with original crocheted flowers.
How to knit a children's vest
Before starting to work on a male or female model, novice craftswomen are advised to practice on models for children. Children's sleeveless vest may have the same style as the men's (women's) one. The main difference between a children's vest and an adult's vest is the size. Children grow quickly, and therefore you can make a vest one or two sizes larger than the child’s current size. If the sleeveless vest is a little longer than necessary, it will provide more warmth on cold winter evenings.
To knit a children's pattern, you need to choose natural yarn in natural colors, because synthetic yarn that is too brightly colored can fade when washed and also cause allergic reactions in children. Synthetic yarn can cause irritation on a child's delicate skin. Colors should be chosen from pastel (a vest for every day) to bright (a holiday vest). Children's sleeveless vests in turquoise, crimson, and light green colors look elegant, and orange and yellow vests look cheerful. Orange and yellow are equally suitable for both girls and young boys. Another advantage of bright colors is that wearing a bright vest makes a child easier to spot on his face and on the road.
Master class on how to knit a sleeveless vest correctly and simply! In order for the knitting result to meet expectations, it is necessary to observe certain practical recommendations:
A knitted vest (sleeveless vest) will serve as a wonderful gift for a woman, child or beloved man. Also knitting a vest will become great practice for those who have only recently learned to knit. But if the question of how to knit a vest scares you, don’t worry. Uncomplicated execution technique and ample scope for creativity – these are the obvious advantages of a knitted vest for lovers of handicrafts.
Items associated with warmth and care are better for keeping you warm in cold weather. Therefore, you need to knit only with positive thoughts and in the most pleasant mood. If you are a happy mother of a boy and want to give your son a pleasant surprise, then a knitted sleeveless vest will be the best gift for him in the cool season. To complete this model of a sleeveless vest for a boy, you do not need any special skill. It is enough to have a little knowledge of knitting needles and be able to alternate the front and back rows.
To knit this model of a sleeveless vest for a boy with knitting needles, it is better to choose yarn that contains natural wool, because this time we are knitting a winter model of a sleeveless vest. If you want to make the same pattern for the warm season, then it is better to use 100% cotton for knitting. Just keep in mind that to knit a summer version of a sleeveless vest, you will need much less yarn, and you will need to cast on more loops.
Size: for 5-6 years. If you plan to knit for a boy of a different age, you can easily adjust the number of stitches cast on yourself.
Materials you will need for work
ALIZE Cashemira yarn, which has all the benefits of cashmere. The yarn contains 100% merino wool. One hundred grams of yarn corresponds to a length of 300 meters. For knitting you need: 100 grams of white, 100 grams of blue and 50 grams of dark blue yarn.
Knitting needles No. 3.5. Pattern: knit stitch: knit rows - knit stitches, purl rows - purl loops.
Knitting a sample
In order not to make a mistake in the size, you need to knit the sample with knitting needles. It’s better to spend an extra 10 minutes on this than to then re-knit the entire sleeveless shirt, if suddenly the knitted product is not suitable for your boy. We knit a sample with knitting needles measuring 10 x 10 cm. On this segment you should get 30 rows of 20 loops. If your number of loops or rows does not meet the requirements, then simply change the number of knitting needles, depending on the density of your knitting.
Back
Gray vest for a boy with a braid pattern Cast on 72 stitches with blue thread and knit 14 rows with 1 x 1 rib. In the last row, evenly add 2 stitches. Then alternate the threads as follows: *2 rows with white thread, 2 rows with blue thread*, repeat from * to * 2 more times. Then we knit 8 rows with white thread, 12 rows with dark blue thread, 8 rows with white thread, 2 rows with blue thread, repeat from * to * 2 more times, 8 rows with white thread, 12 rows with dark blue thread, 8 rows with white thread, 2 row with blue thread, repeat from * to * 2 times, 8 rows with white thread, 2 rows with blue thread, repeat from * to * 2 times, 10 rows with white thread.
At the same time, after 27 centimeters (i.e., after 74 rows) from the edge of the sleeveless shirt, decrease on both sides for bevels: 1 time x 6 loops, and then, in every 2nd row 5 times x 1 loop. After knitting 41 centimeters from the cast-on edge, leave 53 loops open. Is knitting really addictive??
Before
We knit it like the back, but bind off the middle 3 loops after 27 centimeters for the neckline, and you should finish both parts separately. Decrease on both sides as follows: in every 4th row 7 times x 1 loop and in every 2nd row 5 times x 1 loop. After 41 centimeters from the cast-on edge, leave 13 loops on each side for each shoulder.
Assembly
Sew one shoulder seam on either side. Then cast on 112 stitches along the neck using blue thread and knit 12 rows with a 1 x 1 elastic band. At the end, close all the loops.

The back of a children's vest with a bear pattern After tying the neckline, sew the second shoulder seam. Grab the edges of the neck of the placket as well.
Now all you have to do is tie the armholes of the boy’s sleeveless vest. To do this, cast on 90 stitches along each armhole with blue thread. Knit the armhole straps in the same way as the neck strap: with a 1 x 1 elastic band. When finished, all that remains is to sew the side seams. It is best to use a back stitch.

All! The knitted sleeveless vest is ready!
The finished product should be washed in a special detergent. After all, woolen items require delicate care. Under no circumstances should this sleeveless vest for boys be wrung out too much and hung to dry on a line. Lightly wring out the product and lay it out to dry on a cotton cloth in a horizontal position. As the fabric becomes wet, it is worth changing.
And only at the very end of drying, when the product remains only slightly damp, can it be carefully hung on a rope to dry. Knitted items are delicate, handle them carefully.
Depending on your preferences, you can easily knit several things for boys using the above pattern. Change the colors of the yarn, the number of rows of a particular color, as well as the alternation of front and back rows. Each time you will get a new knitted item, different from the previous one. And working on this model for a boy will not be boring and will bring you only positive emotions.
