Meet the Bittie Bestie Vestie đź’•
Hi there,
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know I love a design with a story tucked between the stitches. And this one? It might be the sweetest yet.
Last fall, not long after releasing my adult Bestie Vestie pattern, I found myself wanting to make a smaller version for the same tiny human who once toddled around in the Little Nydia Cardigan. She’s not tiny anymore, of course. She’s taller now, a little braver in her choices, and full of Opinions with a capital O.
When she spotted me working on this vest, she reached for the fuzzy ball of mohair like she already knew it belonged to her. I dared to ask if she liked the color, and she gave me this tiny, shy nod that said, Obviously. That was all the approval I needed.
Naturally, once hers was finished, I couldn’t leave her little brother out. But I didn’t want a twin set; I wanted each vest to have its own personality. So the second version came to be: one soft and airy with mohair and lace, the other classic and timeless with texture and smooth wool, both sharing the same signature cables and “instant favorite” energy.
Today, I’m thrilled to share that the Bittie Bestie Vestie is finally available and, for the first time ever, in both English and German. A little milestone I’ve been quietly excited about for months—my very first bilingual release!
You can find it right here:
Whether you choose lace or texture (or one of each—consider it encouraged!), I hope this vest brings as much joy to your needles and to the tiny trendsetters you knit for as it did to mine.
Thank you, as always, for being here, for cheering on new designs, and for putting your own magic into every project you make. I can’t wait to see the little ones you love wearing their Bittie Bestie Vesties. 🩷💙
