Adagio Vest

Introducing the Adagio Vest: a chic and sleeveless accessory designed as a stylish alternative to traditional shawls. Crafted from 100% linen, this vest boasts a lightweight feel and beautiful drape, making it the perfect layering piece for any wardrobe. The Adagio Vest looks fantastic over skinny jeans or leggings, especially when paired with your favorite fitted short-sleeved or long-sleeved top. You can wear it open for a relaxed look or fasten it closed with your favorite brooch for a touch of elegance.

When it comes to sizing, the measurements provided correspond to the wearer’s bust size. This vest is specifically designed to incorporate 4 inches of positive ease at the bust, ensuring a comfortable yet flattering fit. Although the yarn is lightweight, the vest works up quickly thanks to the larger needle size, making it a rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels.

**Materials Required:** For this project, you will need Knit Picks Lindy Chain, a high-quality fingering weight yarn composed of 70% linen and 30% Pima cotton. Each skein provides 180 yards (164.5 m) and weighs 50g. Depending on your chosen size, you will need 5 (5, 6, 7, 7) skeins in the beautiful shade Swan #26447.

**Necessary Tools:** To create the Adagio Vest, you'll need US 6 (4 mm) 24-inch (60 cm) or longer circular knitting needles, or a size that allows you to achieve the correct gauge. Additional equipment includes a yarn needle, a crochet hook, two stitch holders, sixteen stitch markers, and pins for assembly.

Note: The delicate lace sections of the vest are beautifully seamed to the body, enhancing its overall aesthetic and adding an extra touch of craftsmanship.
