$9.00 USD
This is a digital download of a knit pattern by Vickie Howell.
Vests are this season's biggest knitwear trend, and we are absolutely here for it!
Vickie Howell's Vestibule (named both for the irresistible pun and for the open-sided construction) vest, uses diagonal columns of slipped stitches and floated strands, along with twisted ribs, to breathe texture and interest into a simple shape. The classic, wide crewneck is balanced with a retro-inspired, smock-style sleeve opening. This pattern is sized inclusively with 9 options.
