Leaf Me Alone, I'm Knitting Cardi Vest

**Autumn Leaf Cardi/Vest Knitting Pattern** Celebrate the beauty of autumn with our delightful Autumn Leaf Cardi/Vest knitting pattern! This charming design features a unique construction that showcases an exquisite leaf panel, perfect for expressing your love for fall. The Leaf Panel, measuring 14 stitches wide, is intricately knitted, and then the body stitches are picked up along the edges of the Leaf Panel to create the stunning lower body of the cardi or vest. The construction continues with the yoke, which is picked up along the opposite side of the Leaf Panel and worked upward, ensuring a seamless and stylish finish. The cardi/vest is designed with a chic 2-button chain loop closure, allowing it to be worn slightly open across the Leaf Panel, highlighting its artistic design. Versatility is key, and we’ve used a variety of yarns to create this piece, each contributing to a different look and feel, giving you the freedom to choose your favorite yarn that suits your style. The pattern is perfect for knitters of all levels and is a lovely addition to your autumn wardrobe. For the best results, a gauge of 16 stitches and 22 rows equals 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch is recommended. The pattern comes in a great range of sizes, ensuring that you find the perfect fit for you. Choose from **X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large** to match your bust measurement, which ranges from 33 1/4" to 48 1/4". Though it has taken me four years to bring this design to life, I hope you find it worth the wait and enjoy making this lovely piece. Whether you're wrapping yourself in its warmth while sipping cider or showcasing it during a fall gathering, the Autumn Leaf Cardi/Vest is sure to turn heads and celebrate the essence of autumn.
