A beautiful loose-fitting vest with a three -wire pattern that flows diagonally.
The design was inspired by the organic curves seen in the furniture and architectural designs of Alvar Aalto and Eero Saarinen. Just layer it with your everyday clothes for an impressive look.
Since it is knitted with Shelter , it is soft and brushed, allowing you to knit a gorgeous cable pattern. I'm also happy to be able to make the vest lighter. You can choose the neck and hem design.
Knit in a circle bottom up. While knitting the body in a cable pattern, knit in circles up to the armpits, then separate the front and back sections under the armpits and knit them back and forth up to the shoulders. Pick up the eyes from the body and knit the armholes, neckline, and hem.
