Andrew's Wiseguy Vest

Here's a cute vest for the toddler in your life. Choose from a finished size of 24" or 28" and knit it up in no time at all with worsted weight yarn. Embroider the eyes, beaks and claws of the owls and voila, you've got a show-stopper garment for some little WiseGuy.

When my kids were little, I knit them lots of vests. It was their torsos that I wanted to keep warm. With a turtleneck under the vest, they were warm in the chilly fall air or in a cool house in the very cold midwest winter. And a bonus was that there were no too-long sleeves to get in the way of their play.
