What a beautiful vest! Is that stranded knitting? That's one thing I still have problems with, can't manage the tension of the different threads ;)
The colors and pattern are perfect for a child, lively and full of good vibes.

Thanks @muscara! Yes, it is stranded knitting, but part of this piece was done on a machine. I do love stranded handknitting though and did a little of it for this piece. The neck and arm band plus the upper front piece. My suggestion is just to practice on swatches and the tension will even itself out eventually. Do you hold the yarn in two hands or one when you strand?
I knit continental and used a knitting thimble. Interestingly I have nearly none tension problems with double knitting and prefer that to stranded knitting. Probably I just need more experience with stranded knitting.
A friend of mine does tapestry crochet and I'm interested to see how crocheting with several colors works :)
