  • Knit

Pattern Description:

Just in time for your Fall wardrobe, this vest is the perfect garment for layering. Deep scoop and racer back styling. An especially easy little cable runs up each side of the buttonband. Knit in one piece from hem to shoulder, with very minimal seaming. Garment schematic and stitch pattern chart included.

Less than a year ago, my daughter began knitting and, before too long, she wanted garments she could knit for herself. Being the daughter of a full-time designer has its privileges, I guess! :-) With her instruction and description of items she wanted, I have designed several garments which I hope to make available in the near future.

Since she is a new knitter, I am specifically designing these items for the new knitter. Included with written instructions: garment schematic and knitting chart for cable.

Due to the quick decreasing of the racerback, I have online videos available to assist with a neat edge. I also have an online video available to teach you to stitch the cable without a cable needle.
