Glint Vest
Introducing the Glint Vest knitting pattern, a stylish and versatile garment perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This beautiful vest is worked by seamlessly knitting the back from the top down to the base of the armholes. Both front panels are then picked up and knitted separately, featuring thoughtfully designed short rows for shoulder shaping that ensures a perfect fit. After completing the fronts, the back and front panels are joined together and knitted in the round, creating a lovely flow down to the hem. This vest is not only a functional addition to your wardrobe but also a fun and engaging knitting project!
Gauge: Achieve a consistent gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4”) in stockinette stitch after blocking, ensuring your Glint Vest fits beautifully.
Bust Circumference: The vest comes in a range of sizes to accommodate various body types, with a bust circumference measuring 85 (96, 96)(110, 121, 136) cm / 33.5 (37.8, 37.8)(43.3, 47.6, 54)” for a perfect fit.
