Introducing the Enzo Sleeveless Jacket, a stylish and modern vest designed specifically for active children. This versatile piece features roomy pockets, perfect for gathering all sorts of treasures during playtime! With its contemporary look and practical design, the Enzo is destined to become a favorite addition to your child's wardrobe.

This versatile sleeveless jacket is crafted using heavy DK weight yarn (or Worsted weight yarn) at a relatively dense gauge, providing excellent structure and durability to withstand the rigors of childhood adventures. The use of a contrasting fingering weight yarn ensures that this jacket remains lightweight yet fashionable. When knit as a single strand, this delicate yarn is perfect for pocket linings and contrasting hems, effectively limiting bulkiness in those specific areas. Holding it double for the finishing touches gives the garment a cohesive and polished appearance that matches the main fabric's weight and style.
