13DBRW Vest & Cardigan Set

Discover our beautifully revamped knitting pattern for a delightful reborn or baby vest set, featuring a charming button-up vest, cozy cardigan, snug beanie hat, and adorable socks. This unique pattern is an updated take on the original design outlined in pattern no. 13, which remains available in Knitting Pattern Book 1 alongside patterns no. 10 and no. 12. We've enhanced this favorite by giving the beanie hat a taller silhouette, adding a modified heel for the socks, and introducing a matching cardigan for a coordinated look.

This special set is designed to fit babies of various sizes, now available in five distinct sizes. The newborn size offers a more tailored fit, ensuring that even the tiniest bundles of joy are wrapped in comfort without excess bulk. For our smallest sizes, we’ve opted for a finer 4ply yarn to keep projects lightweight and easy to wear. Additionally, we've meticulously numbered all rows to facilitate a seamless knitting experience, making it easier for both novice and seasoned knitters.
