That looks like a good beginner project.

if you run into problems. I'm not a great knitter but sometimes I can figure out answers, but we've got some GREAT knitters who can solve the most puzzling stuff!

I think it's great that you're making a wearable soon into your knitting career. I can't tell you how many scarves I made before I branched out!

Boo-

thank you for the encouragement! i still need to just order the kit, and then circle it a million times first! nothing ventured, nothing gained....

Some of my best first projects were vests- they knit up quickly and I didn't have to face the psychological challenge of doing the second sleeve. (I have a project or two just waiting for me to do the second sleeve. )

I think it is a great idea to get a yarn and pattern that have been "matched" for you so that you won't be struggling with that process.

A word to the wise... Perhaps pick a size larger than where your child is now- if your gauge is a bit off and it comes out small you still can have your child wear it- and if it comes out big then they just get to wear it longer. :D Or, if it takes you longer to knit it than you expected then your child is less likely to have "grown through" it.

I did a vest for my dd1 and it turned out to fit my dd4.

Keep us posted of your progress!

Very cute vest!! I think its a perfect starter project-my first item was a vest, too. And since it's child-sized it'll be QUICK Well relatively speaking, anyway
