Marguerite Vest
Introducing our beautiful loose-fitting vest, perfect for layering and showcasing your knitting skills! This vest features deep armhole openings and a charming delicate daisy stitch that adds a lovely lacy texture, making it not only functional but also stylish. The unique construction allows you to work the vest from the bottom up in the round, creating a seamless piece that is only seamed at the shoulders. Alternatively, you can opt to knit the vest as separate front and back pieces, which are seamed together at the sides and shoulders for a classic finish.
When working in the round, you'll divide the front and back at the underarm and continue knitting each piece separately back and forth, before finally joining them at the shoulder seams. The designed length of the vest sits just at the waistline, slightly above the hipbone, although you’re welcome to knit it longer if you prefer a more elongated look. This vest is intended for a generous fit, allowing it to be comfortably worn over various garments for added versatility. For those who desire a looser or tighter fit, our size options accommodate adjustments, enabling you to choose a size up or down based on your personal preference.
