Bertie Vest Adult
Introducing our beautifully crafted knitted vest pattern, designed specifically for adult knitters who appreciate vintage style with a modern twist. This stunning vest is knitted in one continuous piece and worked in the round. It features a clever division at the armholes, with the shoulders seamlessly joined at the end for a polished finish. The vest is an adult adaptation of our popular Bertie Vest pattern for children, showcasing the same eye-catching cable panel on the front that adds a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe.
One of the standout characteristics of this vest is its deeper scoop neckline, which provides a flattering fit, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. The vest is designed to have a tailored, more fitted silhouette, with a cropped body length that exudes a vintage charm. However, if you prefer a longer length, the pattern offers clear instructions on how to extend the design for a full-length vest to suit your style. Additionally, this pattern includes a thoughtful detail: a slightly longer back rib hem with stylish side slits, enhancing both comfort and movement.
Sizes: The vest is available in a range of sizes to fit chest measurements from 75-80 cm up to 142-154 cm, making it versatile for different body types.
Needles: For this project, you will need circular needles in sizes 5mm (US 8) and 5.5mm (US 9), along with a cable needle to facilitate the cable work.
Yarn: The vest is designed using Aran weight yarn, specifically requiring 50g balls (approximately 75m per ball), with a total of 6 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10) balls depending on your size selection. Please keep in mind that if you opt for a longer vest, you'll need extra yarn to achieve your desired length.
This knitted vest is not only a delightful project for knitters looking to expand their skills, but it also makes an excellent addition to your wardrobe or a thoughtful handmade gift for friends and family. Get started on this timeless piece today and showcase your knitting expertise with this charming adult vest pattern!
