Instructions
Step 1: Cast On
Start by casting on the required number of stitches for your chosen size. A
butterfly model vest can be knit in any size, so be sure to cast on the correct number of stitches for your size.
Step 2: Knit the Body
Begin knitting the body of the vest in stockinette stitch. For a
women's vest, knit until the body measures approximately 14 inches. For a
baby vest, knit until the body measures approximately 7 inches.
Step 3: Begin Butterfly Model
Once the body of the vest is complete, it's time to start the butterfly model. Begin by
knitting the first few stitches in stockinette stitch, and then place a stitch marker.
Knit the next few stitches in stockinette stitch, and then place another stitch marker. Continue in this way until you have marked off the section of the vest where the butterfly model will be knit.
Step 4: Knit the Butterfly Wings
Next, it's time to knit the
butterfly wings. To do this, knit the first few stitches in stockinette stitch, and then begin the
butterfly model pattern. The pattern can be any combination of stitches, but should be worked in a way that creates the shape of a butterfly wing. Repeat the pattern until you reach the stitch marker, and then knit a few more stitches in stockinette stitch. Repeat this process for the other side of the
vest.
Step 5: Finish the Vest
Once the butterfly model is complete, it's time to finish the vest. Knit in stockinette stitch until the vest reaches the desired length. Cast off and weave in any loose ends.
