Yarn sets for the patterns in "Travel vol.3 A Day in Kanazawa"!
A vest featuring deep armholes and side buttons.
The design is striking with its vertical lines and elegant lace pattern. Ribbed lace patterns are placed on the front and back, creating a light and sophisticated impression. It's compact and portable, making it perfect for a travel.
The vest is knitted flat from the top starting from the back neck. After increases have been made for shoulders, the back is knitted to the bottom of the armholes with armhole shaping. The body is worked straight to the hem before it is finished with ribbing. The front shoulders are picked up and worked separately before they are joined at the front neck. The front is then worked the same way as the back to the hem. Armholes are finished with ribbing, along each side, button bands are worked. Finally, the neck is finished with ribbing.
If you are using a yarn with good elasticity such as amirisu Swing, before blocking, your vest may look smaller than it is intended to be. After soaking and while it is wet, the vest may seem to stretch a lot. Carefully block your vest to keep the intended size and shape after the vest is dried. It is important to make a swatch in Braid Stitch pattern to understand how your gauge differs before and after blocking.
