Newborn Vestee

The perfect finishing piece over a singlet onesie, or layer over long sleeves in cooler weather. 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.

Newborn sizes available now in cream, navy or grey (mint and lilac colours shown but have been sold I’m sorry). 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 – 23cm
Armhole depth – 10cm
Sleeve (from underarm) – 1cm

I 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.

Each item is knitted by hand in a smoke free and pet free environment. I 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.
