Jr Hobbiton Vest

The Jr Hobbiton Vest is the unisex Jr version of the popular ladies Hobbiton Vest – a seed-stitch vest with a classic look. It’s inspired by both the beautiful vests of the 1940s, but most importantly the cozy velvet and wool vests worn by the hobbits of the Shire.
Perfect over a shirt or dress for dressing up your little one, or for chilly days.

 

The adult version is worked in Athena and a strand Mohair Silk, but I strongly dislike using Mohair for babies as it gets everywhere (eyes, nose, mouth..) and might be itchy, so this version is worked in only Athena.
However, if you know your child is ok with Mohair or you have an older child, a strand of Mohair will make the vest both warmer and pleasantly fussy! Note that this will change the gauge to 17/18 st(s) per 10 cm giving the vest more ease - adjust by working one size smaller.
