// Merino Knit Kit // Kids Striped Vest

4 reviews

Bring those funky grandad vibes to your mini this winter with this super fun (and practical haha) striped vest. This vest has a wide crew neck (all the kids I've spoken to say a tight neckline is a 'no way' hehe) and a good amount of length to keep those kidneys warm!

While this vest is knit in the round which may freak some people out - it actually makes it a super simple and quick knit and of course - we’ll be with you all the way!!
