Evening Skies Vest

Introducing our stunning gradient vest knitting pattern, perfect for knitters looking to create a unique and stylish pullover vest! This design features a captivating gradient set combined with a coordinating solid color, both crafted from the same luxurious yarn, showcasing two intricate lace patterns. The dip-dye effect of the gradient adds a vibrant touch to the lower portion of the vest, while the same lace pattern is elegantly worked in each color, creating a harmonious look.

One of the standout elements of this vest is the innovative use of a long, narrow garter stitch piece used as a tie to lace the front together, allowing for a snug fit and chic detailing. For added versatility, you can lengthen the tie or replace it with a beautiful piece of ribbon, securing the front opening by simply tying the ends together. The body of the vest is worked flat in one continuous piece from the bottom up, ensuring a seamless and professional finish. The design is expertly constructed with a division at the armholes, and shoulder shaping is achieved using short rows, which are then joined using the Three-Needle Bind-Off technique for a sturdy connection.

To enhance the overall texture, both the lower edge, as well as the front and neck edges, are finished in a delightful seed stitch, adding a subtle contrast to the lace patterns. The gradient set required for this project consists of six hanks, each boasting 130 yards (119 meters) per hank, totaling 780 yards (713 meters) for the entire gradient set. You’ll find detailed information about the gradient set in our info sheet.
