BERGI RUSTIC CARDIGAN VEST in cotton for men
Discover our stylish gents' 2-coloured vest/sleeveless cardigan with a convenient hood, crafted in a stunning elastic ribbed pattern using aran-weight cotton yarn. This versatile design isn't just for men; it’s also a perfect fit for ladies! The name "RUSTIC" beautifully highlights the unique qualities of the yarn used. We’ve thoughtfully designed the zip covers using a finer yarn to ensure they’re sleek and not bulky, ensuring your new favorite garment maintains a polished aesthetic.
This pattern includes detailed instructions for set-in sleeves, allowing for an elegant and tailored fit. The vest can also be created in solid colors for a classic look. Made to be worked flat from the right front, across the back, and to the left front, this design has no side seams, making construction easier and cleaner. Additional instructions are available for a neck band option without the hood, catering to different styles and preferences.
Ideal for all age groups and body shapes, this design is an inclusive addition to any wardrobe. The measurements provided throughout the pattern are conveniently given in both centimeters and inches, ensuring you can seamlessly translate to your preferred measuring system.
The original model is crafted in CORDONETTO aran-weight cotton, while the zip cover is completed in the same shade as the hood, utilizing the DK-weight cotton CABLE—both sourced from the esteemed Campolmi Roberto Filati in Florence, Italy, known for their high-quality yarns.
Tension/gauge in pattern: 18 stitches and 24 rows on needles sized 4½ mm = 10 x 10 cm (4 in).
