Baby Cakes Bc135 Charlie Vest and Hat (8ply Baby)

Designed with new knitters in mind, this charming vest and hat combination creates an adorable layering piece for babies. The simple garter stitch construction makes it an ideal project for building confidence, while i-cord ties and playful pompoms add delightful finishing touches.

The coordinating textured square hat offers flexibility with two construction methods—work it flat using straight needles or seamlessly in the round with double-pointed needles, whichever suits your preference.
