Half of a pair

No, not socks, not gloves, not even mitts. My latest pattern is half of a pair of kids' tank tops (or sweater vests if you're the other side of the pond!) that I designed for my twin nephews. The good thing about this pair is no second-item-syndrome either because they'll stand alone too.
This one is Little Lines. The clever thing about Little Lines is the stitch pattern. It consists of little lines (hence the name) of knit stitches on a purl background, but since it's worked in the round that would ordinarily mean a lot of purling, something I don't enjoy. So you make it inside out! The vest is worked with purl lines on a knit background in the round to the armholes, flat front and back to the shoulders, and then joined at the shoulder seam with a 3-needle cast-off. Then you flip it inside out and voila! Purl background with a minimum of purling!
The vest is sized from 0-6 months up to 6-7 years, you can find it in my Ravelry pattern store here and my little boy had a fantastic time modelling it for me!

The second half of the pair, Field of Sheaves, will be out nearer the summer.
