Lola Vest
Introducing the Lola Colorblock Vest - a vibrant and playful addition to your wardrobe! This fun vest features a stylish v-neck design with contrasting edging, perfect for showcasing your creativity with color. The Lola vest is inspired by the beauty of colorwork knitting; I have always been fascinated by the "wrong" side of colorwork pieces and the way the yarns twist and blend together. Though my initial design concept for this vest was quite different, as I began selecting yarns, the vest evolved into a piece that is both chic and eye-catching.
With the Lola vest, you have the freedom to express your personal style. Choose your favorite colors, go bold with vibrant shades, or opt for a single color for a more streamlined look. This pattern is perfect for experimenting with bright hues or sporting your school/team colors for a youthful appearance. For those seeking a sophisticated approach, consider traditional or personalized shades that reflect your unique taste.
One of the beautiful features of the Lola is its simplicity; it boasts no shaping, making it a breeze to knit. The rolled neck is knit seamlessly with the body, requiring minimal finishing work aside from the armholes and side seams. This makes it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to the more experienced.
The Lola Colorblock Vest is available in an inclusive range of sizes, accommodating everyone from teens to plus sizes—no one has to miss out on this fashionable piece. The sizes range from XXS to 3X, with bust measurements of 32 (34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52)” and lengths of 22 (22, 23, 23, 23, 23, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24)” to ensure a perfect fit for all wearers.
