Baby Boss Vest Pattern
Are you ready for autumn? In my case, I am ready for the rainy season since I live in a tropical country. Let us do some stretching and start knitting some things to warm the body. I started out by knitting a baby vest. The baby vest is seamless, stretchy, and has a cable pattern. So this pattern is suitable for beginners who are learning to knit with circular needle and cable needle. Give it a try and let me know by mentioning me on @restidia (Instagram) and Restidiah (Ravelry)
