Inspired by menswear looks from brands like Ralph Lauren - which of course are inspired by traditional Fair Isle patterns in turn. This vest is worked entirely in the round, with four steeks for the front and back neck and the armholes. If you’ve never cut your knitting before, this project offers the chance to try this liberating and exhilarating technique.
This kit includes the yarn and the pattern.
