I have been knitting on this Milo vest, off of Ravelry, for Kye since the weekend… I love it. It is knitted completely in the round and just look at the clever neck and shoulder straps, no seaming… how wonderful!! There are so many other things I should be doing right now, but I just can’t resist the temptation to knit on this project, I am sure I am not alone in thinking this, am I? Knitting is so much more fun than… unpacking the dishwasher… isn’t it? Oh I definately think so:) I just have a few more rows to go and then I think I will cast on for another in a different colourway. I am knitting this vest in Colourspun DK Cotton. I also love the very subtle cable that runs down the one side… too sweet…
i see this vest on a lot of blogs and have it bookmarked for my son. it is a wonderful colorway you chose. i love that you say unpack the dishwasher btw… : )
Hi Linda! This looks so great! I love the pattern and the colour! Lovely idea to put that ‘cable’ only on the other side! I’m waiting to see how it looks finished! Teje
I think you are very brave, knitting clothing. But just now, it strikes me that using larger needles means that you are not necessarily making more stitches than you would making a horse or a lion – just using more yarn. This project looks interesting – I am intrigued at the mitered shoulder areas, and some day, I want to try a cable. Well done – and the yarn is lovely.
Oh I wish i had your patience and speed…i seem to never finish anything knitted but I really, really want to! it is a beautiful colour and you are so very clever.
I bought this pattern recently. I LOVE the yarn you chose. It is just so beautiful. I have three boys, and hope to make them all similar milos this spring. We’ll see!
i haven’t knitted in a while & just took on an in-the-round project. For some reason I think I prefer it!! beautiful sweater.
This is just gorgeous Linda. What yarn are you using for this project?? 🙂
Dear Rene’
Thanks so much my dear friend:) I am using Colourspun DK Cotton.

Oh most definetly! I’d rather knit anyday than do those things mundane things which must be done but……. yeah. Knitting is way funner.
I’m all over no seams! If a sweater calls for no seaming, I’m all over it!
Love the yarn!!
That’s a great design! – really cool with no seams!
Hope you’ll post a photo of the finished vest 😉
That’s lovely! do you think this pattern would work sized up for a 10 year old ?
