Andrea Mowry's latest pattern is a striped, cropped vest, perfect for these transitional days from cool spring to warm summer.
She says, "Nothing says layering goals quite like a classic vest. You can choose from a cropped or full length. I love to wear it buttoned up as a tank, or worn open over t-shirts. I love this little knitted vest with its fun play on stripes, and I hope you do, too! This vest is worked from the top down, seamlessly, beginning with the back neck, and has 2 different body length options. The button band and armhole ribbing are picked up and knit out from the body of the vest."
We've put together kits in DK weight using LITLG 100% merino superwash, La Bien Aimee's 100% superwash Merino DK, or Moondrake's Grace, a luxuriously soft blend of superwash merino and cashmere.
