Peyton Vest and Hat 8ply Knitting Pattern

Baby Cakes 8ply knitting pattern from lisafdesign.

Peyton is a sweet simple zig zag textured vest for babies knitted flat in pieces then sewn together using mattress stitch. Finally pick up stitches around the neck and armbands, attach the buttons and it's done!

A hat with a deep ribbed brim and a honeycomb cable pattern make this an interesting project to make. Like many of Lisa's patterns, the hat has two construction options to knit flat on straight needles or in the round on double pointed needles (DPNs). Pop a handmade pom pom on the top to complete this lovely set.

Knitted in Misty, a colourway of Vespers 8ply, a lovely local Merino Wool by Burnt Hill Yarn Co. for softness, warmth and lots of style!

Five sizes for ages: newborn-3 (3-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-18) months

Materials:
Yarn: 3 (3, 4, 4, 4) balls of Vespers 8ply Merino Wool (based on 106 metres per 50 gram ball) or approx. total of 318 (318, 424, 424, 424) metres of equivalent 8ply wool yarn.
Needles: 4mm and 3.25mm straight needles and DPNs in 3.25mm size.
Notions: 2 buttons

Gauge: 22 sts and 30 rows to 10cm square over stocking stitch knitted on 4mm needles. Correct tension is Essential. Be sure to check your tension matches this pattern's stated gauge to ensure it will fit and you have the correct amount of yarn.  If your swatch has less stitches to the 10cm, your tension is too loose so use smaller needles.  If your swatch has more stitches to the 10cm, your tension is too firm so use larger needles.
