Hobbit Vest with pocketses
December 01, 2020A few pattern changes:
I did not make buttonholes and instead sewed the buttons to the bands because I knew it would always be worn closed.
My texture stitch was simplified to:
R1 (RS) K
R2 P
R3 K
R4 K1, P1 to end
Everything else was done as per pattern. Very happy!
Find Hobbit Vest with Pocketses here. My Ravelry page is here and has all my yarny details. You can purchase Brooklyn Tweed Shelter here, and it's on sale through Dec. 4. The sale will support West Coast wildfire victims.
The hat is the Sunset Slouch and came in a beautiful kit from Hudson and West. The kits are always selling out but I did see some in stock at Monarch Knitting.

This little fellow is really a beautiful child. I have loved watching him grow up on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It’s hard to believe he’s already three and Annie is twenty!!!
DeleteSo adorable as always! Love the stitch pattern for myself or a little boy (don't have one of those in the family but maybe for a gift!). Chloe
ReplyDeleteThank you! That stitch is an easy replacement for the seed stitch for me. I’m a thrower, I knit English style so it can be slow going.
DeleteKristin,

More seeing pictures of your adorable grandson!!!!

Your beautiful knitting.

Thank you so much for your comment. I hope you and your family are feeling safe and well, and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.
DeleteBest, Kristen
What a great pattern! love the pocketses.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those buttons were from a car coat; I may have had the same one.
And Carter is getting so big! How wonderful for you that he lives so close by.
Wishing you a blessed holiday season.
all the best,

Yes, I agree that I am one lucky grandma to have my grandson live close by and I can see him a few times a week.
DeleteAnd as for car coats, I don’t know if I hear the term car coat anymore, do you? But those buttons, I cannot imagine them on anything but an old coat!
Thank you for the Christmas blessings. The same to you!

I made a vest out of some beautiful soft bulky Scandinavian yarn (now discontinued) that begged for leather car coat buttons (which I had) but my dainty little niece opted for some delicate flower shaped almost translucent buttons instead. Although also beautiful, it was not the same! Buttons are so important. Love Carter's vest's ones. Chloe
