Wicker Stitch Baby Vest

I love sheepskin, and I absolutely love this classic, unusual knitting stitch. Once I’d discovered it, I thought long and hard about how best to use the particular qualities of the fabric it produces. I think the combination of stich and yarn works really well in this design, and the woven effect of wicker stitch is set off really nicely by the fake fur trim

The wicker stitch is very easy but does take a bit of practice. For this reason the pattern is graded as Intermediate level - you'll need to be used to knitting plain and purl and reading simple knitting patterns. It’s a really great stitch and totally addictive! I absolutely love the finished fabric it produces, and the pattern includes a full photo tutorial, together with a link to an online video demonstration so you can see how it's done.
