Aqua gilet(vest)
Aqua Gilet (Vest) Pattern: Embrace cozy style with our delightful Aqua Gilet, a chic open-front vest featuring charming little cables that add texture and elegance. This versatile design is crafted with simplicity in mind, as it is worked from the top down and flat, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Begin by shaping the upper body to create a flattering shoulder line, then work separately to form the armholes before joining back together to complete the beautiful bottom section of the gilet. For size S, you only need 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn, allowing for a quick knit that can be customized to your preferred length.
SIZES: S(M/L/XL) - Finished measurements for the Aqua Gilet include a Front width of 19(20/22/24) cm, a Back width of 45(50/55/60) cm, and a Body length (from neck to bottom) of 80(82/84/86) cm. This makes it a perfect layering piece for any season, ensuring you stay warm and stylish.
MATERIALS: To create your Aqua Gilet, use fingering weight yarn, requiring 2(3/3/3) skeins of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in the stunning colorway Betty Draper Blue (384m/110g). This translates to approximately 768(850/940/1030) m or 840(930/1030/1130) yards of yarn. For optimal results, a 3 mm circular needle is recommended, achieving a gauge of 24 stitches x 28 rows = 10 cm in stockinette stitch. Don't forget your essential notions, including stitch markers, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle, to help streamline your knitting process.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, the Aqua Gilet is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Download this free knitting pattern today and enjoy creating a stunning piece that combines functionality with a unique design!
