Newborn Vestee

**Please note that I’m off on a short break 12-19 July, so any orders placed during this time will be posted on 21 July. I’ll still be checking messages and knitting while I’m soaking up the sun though! So if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

The perfect finishing piece over a singlet onesie, or layer over long sleeves in cooler weather and continue wearing into the following spring/summer. Three-button closure on one shoulder gives good coverage across the chest whilst making it easy to get over the head, and the buttons won’t get in the way when baby is lying down. The textured rib pattern gives extra stretch across those nice big pukus. Can also be made with long sleeves.

Newborn sizes available now in cream, grey, light pink or navy. Mint and lilac also available as a custom order with a one week turnaround (from July 19). Please let me know in the comments section which colour you would like when ordering.

Measurements of newborn vestee:
Chest – 34cm
Back of neck to hem – 21cm
Armhole depth – 10cm
Sleeve (from underarm) – 1cm

We choose to knit with 100% merino fibre as it has many advantages for baby wear:
• Soft and flexible on the skin, not prickly
• Extremely warm and cozy without adding bulk
• Breathable, moisture wicking and temperature regulating
• Odour resistant

Por Vida knits are easy to care for – a swish and rinse in a basin of cold or warm water is best, but if you want to machine wash, simply do up the buttons, pop into a delicates bag and select a cold water gentle cycle. Lie flat in the shade to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach or rub.

We hope that you and baby love your Por Vida purchase. If you feel that it’s not quite right for whatever reason, please get in touch so that we can assist further.
