Naturally Classic Vest
Lion Brand® Lion® Organic Cotton
GAUGE: 20 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st. (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

| Naturally Classic Vest Reviewed by Christina Sagnimeni on 2011-02-23 |

| Even though I wasn't in love with the pictured vest, I thought I would give it a shot using a self striping yarn. It turned out soooo cute. I will use this vest pattern until my boys out grow it.
