Oscar Kit - Retrosaria

This kit does not include the pattern. You'll also need a copy of Claudia Q's new book, Making Memories: Timeless Knits For Children.

 

Oscar was inspired by my son, who was always an energetic and adventurous child, and as such wanted his arms to stay as uninhibited as possible — even on chillier days of the year. This modern take on a traditional vest is sure to keep your child’s chest warm on slightly colder days, while also allowing them to be ready to take on any adventure.
