We will be selling the Nonna Vest kit designed by Yuka Tomioka!
A delicate lace vest with a vintage feel.
The vertical lace, moderate V-neck, open front, and French sleeves are all well balanced and elegant, making it nostalgic yet sophisticated. It can be worn over a blouse or T-shirt, or over a sleeveless dress, and can be worn throughout the year.
Knitted with Isager Trio 2. A blend of 50% linen, 30% cotton, and 20% Tencel. The cool feel of linen makes it the perfect summer vest. Knit delicate lace with a sophisticated, lustrous yarn to create an impressive piece that will change your worldview just by putting it on.
Working from the bottom up, knit the placket at the same time with back and forth stitches. Once you have knitted down to the armpit, divide it into the left front body, the back body, and the right front body, and knit each up to the shoulder. Once both shoulders are closed, knit the left and right neckbands with back and forth stitches towards the center of the back neck to close them. Finally, pick up the stitches at the armholes and knit them with a twisted rib stitch to bind them off.
