Blair Vest
Introducing our stylish knitting pattern designed for cozy sweaters! This pattern requires a 4 mm (US 6) needle, with a gauge of 21 stitches and 27 rows, equating to a 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4”) square in pattern stitch after blocking. For detailed instructions, please see page 4.
Available in sizes 1 (2, 3)(4, 5, 6), the sample showcased is size 2, modeled on a stunning individual who stands 163 cm (5' 4") tall. This design features an inclusive 37 cm (14.5”) positive ease, allowing for comfortable wear. We recommend an ease of 15-40 cm (6-15.75”) for optimum fit and comfort.
The finished bust circumference measures: 104 (120, 120)(135, 142, 158) cm, translating to 41 (47.25, 47.25)(53.25, 56, 62.25) inches, accommodating a variety of body types and preferences.
For this project, you will need yarn from De Rerum Natura, specifically the Robinson line, which comprises 70% Merino wool and 30% cotton, featuring 250m/270yd per 100g. For the main color (MC) Citronnade, you will require approximately 2.5 (2.8, 3)(3.5, 4, 4.5) balls, which translates to roughly 625 (700, 750)(875, 1000, 1125) m or 684 (765, 820)(957, 1094, 1230) yards. The contrasting color (CC), Sucre Glace, will need about 50 (70, 90)(110, 130, 150) m / 55 (77, 98)(120, 142, 164) yards. Please note that if you opt to extend the length of the body, you may need additional yardage of the main color yarn.
