Spring 1 Mile Vest Kit -Woolfolk STRA- (with Japanese sentence pattern)

I made a kit with Woolfolk STRA so that I can wear the 1 Mile Vest made for winter in spring. The shape of the 1 Mile Vest remains the same, but this Spring version looks great with a light shirt or short-sleeved T-shirt.

The Spring 1 Mile Vest was first crocheted with Brooklyn Tweed Dapple (hence the Tokuco drawing picture is crocheted with Dapple, which is why there is a gradation).
Of course Dapple is also nice, but if you want a chic vest, Woolfolk STRA is recommended. Natural and chic coloring with a sense of luxury like Woolfolk. The linen part is not completely dyed, so the knitted vest has a natural and beautiful melange finish.

[From Tokuko]
As I mentioned in the podcast, I used to love the knitted turtleneck vest that I bought in my 20s, and I actually wore it until this year. If you count it, you'll have worn it for 20 years.
Now it's a worn-out vest that looks miserable with cat claws getting caught in it, but I've been looking for it in various places to see if it's for sale, but I really can't find it. I plan to design one every year and get one for myself, but I don't have time! This year, it finally happened.

The word “1 Mile” is often seen in magazines these days. I think it refers to an item that is just right for a short outing in the neighborhood, and this vest is one that I want you to use in that way.

Knitted and simple, the hem and cuffs are loose and not constricting, and the neck is upright for warmth. I packed in the elements I wanted.
At home, I wear this vest over a long-sleeve T-shirt to do housework. And it's really convenient to go to the supermarket in the neighborhood!
I would be happy if you could wear it with the same feeling as me.
