Lark

Short Description: Lark: Here's a vest... not a stuffy vest but a play vest reminiscent of a good 'ole hoodie. I don't about your kids but my kids love the hoodies! Lark is knit from the bottom up in-the-round. It was important to me that the pocket be a nice addition, not a major knitting disruption so it is knit along with the vest body. Minimal finishing consists if seaming the shoulders (3 needle bind off), tacking down the pocket lining, and working ribbings around armholes and hood.
