Feeling All The Frills

Discover the charming design of the Feeling All the Frills knitting pattern, which beautifully combines a classic vest construction with eye-catching, oversized shoulder frills and a trendy split high-low hem. This stylish vest is expertly worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with the back and front of the yoke, which are knitted flat before being joined in the round at the underarm. The playful shoulder frills are skillfully shaped using a combination of German short-rows and multiple increase rounds, adding a delightful touch to your wardrobe. For a perfectly relaxed fit, it's recommended to wear this vest with approximately 1 to 4 inches of ease, making it the ideal layering piece to elevate any outfit, whether paired with a dress or styled over your favorite top.

RECOMMENDED YARN: Choose Light Aran yarn combined with lace weight yarn held double, or opt for a single strand of Aran weight yarn for best results.

GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 16 stitches and 22 rows = 4 inches / 10 cm in stocking stitch on the larger needle after blocking for a professional finish.

NEEDLES: You'll need 5 mm needles or the size necessary to obtain gauge, along with 4.50 mm needles, which should be one size smaller than your gauge needle. Use 16” / 40 cm circular needles in both sizes for the neckline and shoulder frills, and 32” / 80 cm circular needles in each size for the body of the vest.

YARDAGE: Gather the right amount of yarn for your size, ranging from 569 yards for the smallest size up to 1424 yards for the largest size (520 to 1302 meters).
