Vest ONE
Garment Construction: This adorable vest is expertly crafted seamlessly in the round from the bottom up to the underarm. After reaching the underarm, the front and back sections are worked separately in a flat construction style. To complete this piece, a simple yet elegant edge is added, enhancing its overall aesthetic.
Yarn: For the sample, we used DROPS AIR in a charming BEIGE color. The total yarn usage is approximately 150 (200, 230, 260, 300, 330) grams, which translates to about 450 (600, 700, 780, 900, 990) meters, ensuring you have plenty of material for your knitting project.
Needles: This pattern requires specific needle sizes to achieve the perfect fit: use a long circular 3.5mm needle for the hemline (60-80cm in length) and a long circular 4.5mm needle for the body (60-80cm). You may also need a shorter circular 3.5mm needle or double-pointed needles (DPNs) for the collar and armholes.
Gauge: Achieve an accurate gauge of 17 stitches and 26 rows per 4x4 inches (10x10 cm) in Stockinette stitch using 4.5mm needles in the round. This is critical for ensuring that your finished vest fits perfectly!
Sizes Available: The vest is designed to fit a range of sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL). It can be worn fitted or with positive ease for a more relaxed look. The sample size is L, designed with 6 inches of positive ease for added comfort.
Dimensions: The bust measurements for this lovely vest are as follows: 88 (96, 104, 112, 124, 136) cm, translating to 34.5 (37.8, 41, 44, 48.8, 53.5) inches. This range allows you to select the perfect size for your body type.
