Cardi Vest

This beautifully crafted quick-knit vest is an ideal layering option for transitional and mild weather, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe. The versatile design features a unique construction, as the vest is worked in one seamless piece from the bottom up. The fitted waist is accentuated by a twisted rib pattern, while an optional non-traditional stranded colorwork design adds a touch of artistry to the front. This pattern includes two stylish collar options: a cozy hood or an elegant shawl collar, allowing you to customize your look. You can choose to knit a shorter waist-length sweater (as shown, with Hood in Size 37"/94 cm, designed with a comfortable 2"/5 cm positive ease) or opt for a longer, hip-hitting version that provides an effortlessly chic silhouette. For optimal comfort, a positive ease of 2-4"/5-10 cm is suggested. This pattern is designed to cater to intermediate-level knitters who have prior colorwork experience, but adventurous beginners who are interested in solid color versions will also find this project rewarding. Unlock your creativity, enhance your knitting skills, and stay stylish in this must-try vest pattern that encapsulates both comfort and flair. Perfect for seasonal transitions!
