Yara

Introducing the Yara Long Sweater Vest, a stylish and versatile addition to your wardrobe that perfectly combines comfort and elegance. This oversized knit vest features convenient pockets and a chic single button closure, making it a go-to layer for any occasion.

Featuring a relaxed and easy silhouette complemented by inset pockets and gentle shoulder gathering, the Yara is designed for effortless wear. It’s the perfect piece to slip on when you're looking for warmth without the bulk of sleeves, offering both functionality and fashion in one striking design.

Available in a range of sizes from XXS to XXL, the Yara Long Sweater Vest can accommodate bust measurements from 30 inches to 50 inches, providing 4 inches of ease for a comfortable fit. The length of the vest varies from 26 to 28 inches depending on the size, ensuring a flattering look on all body types.

For your knitting project, you will need between 700 to 1100 yards of worsted weight yarn—perfect for showcasing beautiful fibers and textures. The Yara is shown in a luxurious Alpaca Chainette, although we recommend using a wool or wool blend for best results, as the fronts can be blocked to prevent curling and enhance the overall finish.

This pattern requires a 1-inch button and the use of US 7 (4.5mm) circular needles for the body and sleeves. Optional double-pointed needles may be used for the sleeves as needed, making this a flexible project suited for knitters of various styles. To achieve the best results, make sure to check your gauge, which measures 17 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches in stockinette after blocking. Adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the desired fit and texture.

Whether you're dressing it up for a night out or dressing it down for a casual brunch, the Yara Long Sweater Vest is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe. Start your knitting journey today with this timeless and cozy sweater vest pattern!
