1 year old baby vest — how many stitches to start? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

You're both probably right — stitch count completely depends on yarn thickness, needle size, and stitch pattern.
General averages for around 1 year old:
- Medium yarn + size 4 needles → about 70-80 stitches
- Thin yarn + size 3 needles → 80-90 stitches
- Thick yarn + size 5-6 needles → 55-65 stitches
The real answer: cast on 10 stitches and knit about 10 cm, then measure how many stitches fit in 10 cm with a ruler. Then calculate based on your baby's chest (usually 48-52 cm). This way, you and your mother-in-law will both have the right number — the gauge swatch doesn't lie. 😊
If you calculate and share the chest measurement, we can figure out the exact stitch count together.
