CONSTRUCTION

The SnowHeart Vest is expertly knitted in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, where it is then split into separate front and back sections to be finished flat. The innovative braiding on the front is worked continuously, which harmoniously complements the carved-out V-shaped neckline. The back is fashioned in a smooth stockinette stitch to ensure a comfortable fit, and the two halves are seamlessly joined together using the 3-needle binding-off technique for a clean finish. The vest features unique “false hem” asymmetrical armscye shaping achieved by meticulously picking up stitches around the armhole. This technique incorporates a blend of different ribbings and short-row methods to accentuate the vest's elegant silhouette. With an ease of approximately 5-10cm / 2”-4”, this vest is designed for a flattering fit on a variety of body types.

For the SnowHeart Vest, the gauge is as follows: 16 stitches x 22 rows in stockinette stitch and 23 stitches x 22 rows in cable pattern, measured over a 10x10cm / 4x4” square using worsted weight yarn.
