Product Description

The essence of comfort: a gently oversized vest, perfect for layering, in soothing stockinette stitch with an eye-catching cable panel to provide just enough knitting variety. An (optional) notched hem is a fun and flattering feature, while the attached i-cord edging echoes the intentional simplicity of this design.

The vest is knit flat. Choose a size that provides approximately 5-6” of positive ease in the chest, and choose a yarn with more body or structure to support the i-cord edging.
