Comments on: FREE PATTERN: Pebble (Henry’s Cobblestone-inspired Manly Baby Vest) http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=223 devoted to rationalizing my shameful yarn habit Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:59:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Frau Kirschkernzeit http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=223#comment-352108 Frau Kirschkernzeit Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:23:50 +0000 http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=223#comment-352108 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this vest! I’ve knitted several vests during the years but this one remains my one and only really adored one… THANK you SO much for this great patter here. It is perfectly written even for beginners (I think I’ve started knitting with it, if I remeber well…) and the result looks gorgeous on baby girls and boys… When I post the newest manly vest in my life, the comments always show how much this piece appeals to us knitting mothers, and now and then they are asking me if I know a pattern in german just like this one… which I don’t. And that is why I aks you if there would be a way for me to translate your manly vest pattern into German. I wouldn’t post it without your permission, but if you’d allow me to make it, I’m sure there would be a lot of german speaking bloggers (and other people too) who’d be so grateful and thrilled to knit their own manly vest… Please let me know. And thank you anyway!

I know that people have posted their adjustments but I would just enjoy knowing how to get a 6 months, 12 months. 18 months pattern, etc, using similar yarn. The babies I knit for don’t live with m,e so I have to can’t measure the babe and knit.

I’m having to trust my maths here and am currently knitting one with 100 sts for chest 22″, length 14″ in a blue-marl Arran weight wool on 4 mm needles. This time she’d like it to be closed at the side and shoulder and the buttons to be purely decorative, since the very active wearer is 13 months old and happy with things being put on over his head. Thank you again for the brilliant pattern. Oh – “and please could you make a miniature version for Ben-the-doll if possible?”! Back to the finer yarn, then.

Thanks so much for the pattern!
