Laura Vest
Introducing the stunning Laura Vest, a versatile knitting pattern that offers one elegant design in two unique styles. The Laura Vest is expertly knitted from the top down and features a seamless construction for a comfortable fit. The sample showcased in a luxurious caramel color is knitted in Size 1 with a stylish folded edge, while the beautiful green variant is presented in Size 4 featuring a contemporary ribbed edge. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a chic vest that adds warmth and style to any outfit.
Gauge for Laura Vest: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 20 stitches and 27 rows, measuring 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in stockinette stitch after blocking—ensuring a professional finish every time.
Available Sizes: The pattern comes in a range of sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7). Our sample shown in Size 1 has an impressive 20cm / 7.9” positive ease, while the Size 4 variant features an extraordinary 40cm / 15.7” positive ease for a relaxed and comfortable fit.
Body Circumference: The Laura Vest boasts a generous body circumference of 104(112, 116, 124)(128, 136, 140) cm / 40.9(44.1, 45.7, 48.8)(50.4, 53.5, 55.1) inches, accommodating various body types and preferences for drape.
Yarn Requirements: For this pattern, we recommend using De Rerum Natura Gilliatt, a premium 100% wool yarn, which provides exceptional softness and warmth at 250m/100g. You will need approximately 2 (3, 3, 3)(4, 5, 6) balls, translating to roughly 500 (650, 750, 750)(1000, 1250, 1500)m of yarn. Note that you may need additional yardage if you plan to extend the length of your vest.
Recommended Needles: To create your stunning Laura Vest, we suggest using 4.5mm / 7 US needles for the main body and 4mm / 6 US needles for the edge or ribbing details, ensuring excellent stitch definition and a polished look.
Other Materials: Don't forget to gather your essential knitting tools, including stitch markers and a cable needle to facilitate the process and enhance your crafting experience.
