another thing i didn’t knit :: an elephant milo vest

February 26, 2014 by gail

I’ve seen plenty of Milo vests pop up, but this version could not be ignored. Luckily my mom and I were in agreement, and she knit one for Oscar.

The link to the Marching Elephants chart in the original post didn’t work, so we had to do some digging. Here’s the chart if you’re looking.

We used different yarn, but as you can tell, it’s pretty similar to the original one I pinned – silver elephants on teal. If you’re logged in to Ravelry, you can browse lots of other nice color combinations here.

There’s something so cute about babies (yeah okay, toddlers) in sweater vests, and I love how it fits all snug around his enormous middle. I can’t offer any hard evidence, but I’m pretty sure this kid is way outperforming his peers in belly circumference.

Oh man I love this!! What a dapper young gentleman you have there, and the knitting arrangement you have with your mom cracks me up. She is so good!

Those little elephants are divine.
