A beginner-friendly children's knitting course ~ guided step-by-step from cast-on to cast-off. You'll knit a beautiful seamless vest for your little one, sized from 6 months all the way to 11 years. The perfect cosy layering piece for the cooler months ~ made by your hands, worn by them.

Sizes & yarn quantities

Choose your size by your child's chest measurement. The vest is designed with a comfortable amount of ease ~ go up a size if you prefer a more relaxed fit or want a little growing room.

Size Age (approx) Yarn needed
6–12 m 6–12 months 125g
1–2 yr 1–2 years 140g
2–3 yr 2–3 years 180g
4–5 yr 4–5 years 200g
6–7 yr 6–7 years 230g
8–9 yr 8–9 years 260g
10–11 yr 10–11 years 300g

Yarn quantities are based on 14 ply / Bulky weight yarn. These are a guide ~ allow an extra 20–30g if you prefer a longer vest or want a little extra to be sure.

What's included

  • Full step-by-step video course ~ in order, building with you as you go
  • Downloadable PDF pattern (sizes 6–12 months to 10–11 years)
  • Lifetime access to our private community space and support
  • Bonus resources library ~ yarn guidance, fixing mistakes, finding your rhythm

What you'll need

These tools are available as add-ons ~ so you only get what you actually need:

  • 6mm circular needles ~ for ribbing (hem, armholes, neckline)
  • 8mm circular needles ~ for the body
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stitch markers

You'll also want scissors, a measuring tape, and a small amount of scrap yarn ~ things most of us already have at home.

Yarn

This vest uses 14 ply / Bulky weight yarn ~ which is what makes it knit up so beautifully fast. We provide 100% untreated Wool.

You can choose one colour for the whole vest, or use a contrast colour for the ribbing ~ the hem, armholes, and neckline. Both approaches are guided through in the course.

Keep making

Once you've finished your Embrace Vest, you'll have every skill you need to cast on again ~ for a sibling, a friend's baby, or a new colourway. The same pattern grows with your child across 7 sizes, so you can knit it again and again as they do.

If you'd love to make something for yourself too, the Mama Crop Course is the perfect next step ~ and your hands will already know so much.

Support

This course comes with lifetime support inside our private community container. You will never feel alone or lost in your making ~ whether you're mid-project, starting again, or just need a little encouragement to keep going. We are here.


FAQs

Do I need any experience?+
The Embrace Vest is designed to be beginner-friendly ~ we start from the very beginning and guide you through every stitch. If you've never picked up needles before at all, we recommend starting with the Bloom Crop first ~ it will give you a beautiful foundation. But if you're keen to just jump in, you absolutely can.
What yarn should I use?+
You'll need a 14 ply / Bulky weight yarn. This is what makes the vest knit up so beautifully quickly ~ it's satisfying from the very first round. We share our specific recommendations inside the course, including a softer baby alpaca option for sensory-sensitive children. Check the size table above for how much you'll need.
Can I use two colours?+
Yes ~ and it looks gorgeous. You can knit the entire vest in one colour, or use a contrast for the ribbing sections (hem, armholes, and neckline). Both options are fully guided in the course. If you're planning two colours, we'll share guidance on quantities for each inside once you're enrolled.
What sizes does the pattern include?+
The Embrace Vest pattern includes 7 sizes ~ 6–12 months, 1–2 years, 2–3 years, 4–5 years, 6–7 years, 8–9 years, and 10–11 years. Every size is guided through in full throughout the course, so you always know exactly where you are.
How long will it take to knit?+
The bulky yarn means this knits up quickly compared to most garments ~ many of our knitters finish a smaller size in a week or two, knitting in the pockets of everyday life. The larger sizes take a little longer, but the pace is really satisfying. And because the course is self-paced with lifetime access, there's no pressure ~ knit it in a weekend or across a whole season.
How will I know when doors open again?+
Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know ~ before we announce it anywhere else. Waitlist members get early access and plenty of notice to get their yarn and tools ready.
What if I get stuck?+
That's exactly what our community container is for. Lifetime access means you can come back at any point ~ mid-project, months later, or when you're ready to cast on a new size. You are never alone in it.
