First introduced with a chunky weight yarn, the maddy laine ML164 Flatter Me Vest pattern has remained a top favorite in the maddy laine collection since its release. This stylish and versatile design appeals to knitters of all skill levels looking to create a trendy sleeveless garment.
Due to popular demand, we are excited to announce the launch of an updated version of this beloved pattern: the ML194 Flatter Me Vest (DK). Now you can enjoy knitting this beautiful vest using DK (Double Knitting) yarn, making it ideal for those who prefer a lighter-weight fabric. This pattern allows for greater flexibility in your yarn choice without compromising the design's flattering silhouette.
The Flatter Me Vest features a chic sleeveless design, with both the front and back knit alike, ensuring a timeless look. The generous side openings are thoughtfully crafted to be inviting but not overly wide, finished with a refined overlapped band of k1,p1 ribbing for a polished finish. The simple lines of the vest are beautifully accentuated by fully-fashioned raglan shoulder shaping, which includes a decorative loop decrease that adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.
To complete your outfit, consider pairing this vest with the matching scarf pattern, available as a complimentary project at maddycraft. Both designs make excellent additions to your knitting repertoire, perfect for layering throughout the seasons.
