He is now 6 months old, so I needed to knit something both age and season appropriate. The pattern is a free pattern from an Australian company called Carnival yarns. Edited April 2012: Link to the pattern is no longer active but it would be fairly easy to improvise a hooded vest if you are looking to create something similar.
I didn't make any changes to the pattern - just knitted it at a smaller gauge. I really like the pattern and may have to try to make one in worsted to get a larger garment. This used 2 balls of the Drops Fabel sock yarn. I used 2.5mm needles and got about 6 stitches to the inch.

I love your version of the Carnival Boy's vest. I found your link on Ravelry and was hoping to make a vest for my son, but the Carnival site doesn't seem to be working. Would you mind passing the pattern on? I would love to make it.
Do you have the pattern? The Carnival link is dead....
