Vestibule Slip Stitch Vest Kit
$77.00 USD
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.
This kit gives you a bundle deal, making the pattern free and giving a discount on the yarn. Yay, kits!
