Little vests are some of my favorite things to knit - they are a fast knit and very handy for keeping small children warm in chilly winter weather. The pattern for the Nordic Winter Vest is a simple vest with rib edges worked in the round at first and then divided into front and back. The pattern also contains a number of charts for textural patterns.
