Lana Vest

The Lana vest is a beautifully designed knitting pattern that showcases a stylish approach to creating a versatile wardrobe staple. This vest is worked by starting with the back, knitted from the top down to the base of the armholes. Both front pieces are then picked up and knitted separately, beginning from the top and working down to the V-neck edges. After joining both front pieces together, the vest is worked down to the armhole. Once you have completed this, the back and front are joined and knitted in the round until reaching the hem. To aid you during the knitting process, detailed charts are included. Please remember that these charts are intended to complement the written instructions, and it is essential to read them in conjunction for best results.
