Pousse Café from BabyCocktails is a gorgeous women’s airy,
light vest with just a touch of details knit in an Aran weight yarn. The
cropped and boxy vest features a crew neckline, contrasting bands at the
collar, armhole bands, and hem ribbing with a little bit of colorwork around
the hem for a splash of color. Pousse Café is a great beginner knit. The vest
is knit in the round from the bottom up. The collar and armhole stitches are
picked up and worked in the round. The colorwork pattern is in written
form only.
