Difficulty level: This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners / intermediate knitters. You should be comfortable with: the long-tail cast-on, and working 2 × 2 rib both in the round and flat. The pattern introduces: edge stitches, increases in 2 × 2 rib while maintaining the rib structure, and an Italian bind-off worked over double knitting.

‘Vestedisse Light’ is a hybrid between a cowl and a vest. The design is worked in elastic 2 × 2 rib, creating a flexible and comfortable fit. The vest can be closed at the sides using “Sew-In Leather Snaps” (used on the purple piece), the shorter “Removable Snaps Mini” (used on the blue piece) for a closer fit, or the slightly longer “Removable Leather Snaps” (used on the white piece) for a looser fit.

The garment is worked top-down with increases for saddle shoulders. Once the saddle shoulders are established, the work is divided into front and back pieces, which are worked flat separately. ‘Vestedisse Light’ is light and airy, knitted in soft alpaca, and works perfectly as an extra layer under a jacket on chilly days - or as a vest worn over a T-shirt, shirt, or dress.

Please note that this is a knitting pattern and not a readymade product.
