Aldwych Vest

Introducing our stylish layering vest, inspired by the timeless design of classic bib overalls (dungarees) and the traditional Japanese haramaki (belly warmers). This unique vest is perfect for adding both warmth and flair to your favorite tops or dresses, elevating your wardrobe with its fashionable versatility. With deep-cut sides, this vest provides a full range of motion, making it ideal for showcasing your most extravagant and dramatic sleeves.

The construction of this vest features intricate details: both the front and back panels are skillfully worked from the top down using a charming seed stitch pattern complemented by I-cord edges and a striking center slipped stitch design. This craftsmanship not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures a snug yet comfortable fit. Once the front and back panels are completed, they are seamlessly joined to work the lower edge in the round, culminating in a beautifully finished deep seed stitch hem that adds a touch of elegance.

One of the standout features of this knit vest is its customizable fit. The straps, which are picked up from the back and worked toward the front, allow you to easily adjust the length and fit to suit your unique style. Whether you're layering for warmth on a chilly day or looking to make a fashion statement, this vest is a must-have piece for your knitting repertoire.
