Today we have a tutorial for you to learn how to make baby vests with a toothpick for 2-year-olds, so if you have a little one of this age you can knit these vests for him, so that you can protect him from the cold while you're at it. Knitted baby vests are an excellent way to make some Christmas gifts for the little ones in the family, luckily there is a wide variety of knitting baby vests so you can knit a different vest for each little one.

BABY VESTS WITH STICK FIRST STEPS Making a knitted vest with two needles is very simple, if you are new to the world of knitting with two needles, don't worry because here you will learn how to make one in a simple way. The materials that we will need are: 300 grams of baby wool in the color that you like the most 1 pair of number 4 needles 1 pair of number 5 needles point separator

The vests are knitted in two parts, front and back. We are going to start knitting the lower part of the back, for this we have to use the number 5 needles, start by mounting 110 stitches on one of them, for the first round we have to knit one stitch and one purl stitch. We do the same for the next 8 rows, that is, alternating a knit stitch with a purl stitch, if you notice, small braids are formed that are a bit elastic and precisely this point is called elastic stitch.

To continue with the back we are going to knit in a single stitch called stockinette stitch, so switch to number 4 needles, for this stitch you only have to knit row after row in knit stitch. Until knitting 20 cm, then we are going to make the armhole for this you have to make a couple of decreases on each side in the next 5 rows, knit another 5 centimeters without making decreases and you will be done.

BABY VESTS WITH STICK FRONT PART To continue with these baby vests with toothpicks we are going to knit the front part, following the same process as the back part. So with your 5 needles cast on 110 stitches then rib knit 8 rows. Change your needles to number 4, for the front a slightly more showy stitch is usually used, but not for that more complicated, since it is still a combination of knit and purl stitches. So for this vest we are going to intersperse 10 knit stitches with 10 purl stitches.

We continue this pattern until we have 20 cm knitted, then we must decrease for the armhole, two stitches on each side for the next 5 rows. When you finish these rows place half of the stitches on the stitch spacer.

First knit one half of these baby vests with a toothpick, making a decrease on the central side to form the neckline. When you finish 5 cm, cut the yarn and knit the stitches of the other part that are waiting in the separator. In the end you only have to sew the vest on the sides with wool and a tapestry needle.
