**YARN:** For this stunning vest, we recommend using Woolfolk Får, which is made from 100% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino®. Each skein contains 142 yards of premium worsted weight yarn.

**NEEDLES AND NOTIONS:** Ensure you have the right tools on hand! You'll need US 5 (3.75 mm) straight needles and a 16” circular needle or a set of double-pointed needles (dpns). Additionally, gather US 7 (4.5 mm) needles, a tapestry needle, stitch markers, a cable needle, and removable markers for ease of knitting.
**GAUGE:** Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the perfect fit. The pattern calls for 20 stitches and 32 rows to equal 4” in stockinette stitch on the larger needles, blocked. Additionally, for the intricate cable pattern, expect to achieve 25 stitches and 32 rows to equal 4”, also blocked, showcasing your hard work beautifully.
**NOTES:** This exquisite vest is designed to be knitted flat in individual pieces and then seamed for a polished finish. The front incorporates a stylish deep V shaping that adds sophisticated flair. After completing the front, the neckband is picked up and worked flat, followed by the collar and armhole bands, which are picked up and finished in the round for a seamless look. You can work the cable pattern from either a chart or written instructions, depending on your preference. Choose the size that provides you with 8–12” of positive ease for the most comfortable wear.
This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a fashionable and functional garment. Whether you are making this vest for yourself or as a gift, it is sure to become a beloved piece in any wardrobe.
