The Brass Buttons Vest from Tahki Yarns has many lovely features. The stitch pattern is fairly straightforward, yet it results in something that looks quite complicated. The columns of stitches have a beautiful, braid-like quality to them. The fold-over collar adds a little more weight to the top of the garment, balancing out all that happens near the bottom edge. And best of all, since this is a vest, you'll be able to finish it quickly and wear it before the end of the season; no need to wait until next year.
