Introducing a stunningly light and airy knitting pattern for a complimentary silhouette vest that's perfect for the summer season! This unique vest features an asymmetrical opening split at the bottom and showcases a playful mix of decorative increases and decreases. Not only is it a quick and enjoyable knit, but it will also result in a truly extraordinary and alluring piece to elevate any warm-weather wardrobe. The design is shown in size 3 with an additional 10” of ease, highlighting its comfortable fit.

YARN: For this enchanting vest, we recommend using Woolfolk Flette, made from 100% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino® yarn. Each skein offers 131 yards per 50g, in a DK weight. You will need 5 (6, 6, 7, 8)(9, 9, 10, 11, 12) skeins in color no. 01 to complete your project.

GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 22 stitches and 28 rows = 4” in 1/1 Rib on smaller needles, blocked. For a more textured finish, use larger needles to get a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4” in 1/1 Twisted Rib, also blocked.

NOTES: The construction of this vest involves working flat in pieces that are later seamed together to create a polished look. The collar and armhole bands are picked up and worked seamlessly in the round for added convenience. To streamline your knitting process, it’s advisable to utilize a row counter. A helpful tip is to mark every 10 rows of work with removable markers or a small piece of contrasting thread, ensuring you stay organized and on track. Choose a size with 8 to 12 inches of positive ease for a flattering and relaxed fit that enhances the vest's airy appeal.
