What Is Being Made

The Waverly is a cozy layering vest designed by Tian Foley, originally published in Warm Woolies 1511. This garment features a distinctive foldover turtleneck and a longer back hem that extends 2 inches below the front, creating a modern silhouette ideal for layering over long-sleeve shirts. The vest is available in five sizes ranging from XS to XL, with finished bust measurements from 33 inches to 42½ inches.

Construction Techniques

The Waverly is constructed using a bottom-up approach with seamedworked flat

Stitches and Stitch Patterns

This pattern employs fundamental knitting stitches suitable for an Easy skill level

  • 2 x 2 Rib: A classic ribbed pattern worked over a multiple of 4 stitches plus 2, alternating knit and purl stitches (K2, P2). This elastic stitch creates the welcoming cuff at the lower edge and provides structure and stretch throughout the garment.
  • Stockinette Stitch (St st): The main body fabric, created by knitting on right-side rows and purling on wrong-side rows, producing a smooth, flat surface.
  • Garter Stitch (Gtr st): Used on the first and last 3 stitches of every row to create finished selvedge edges that are easier to seam.

The pattern incorporates strategic decreases using k2tog (knit 2 together) and ssk (slip, slip, knit) to shape the waist and armholes, creating a fitted silhouette that tapers from the hip to the bust.

Materials and Needles

The Waverly is designed to be worked with smaller straight needles for the ribbed cuff section and larger needles for the stockinette body. The pattern is created using yarn from Classic Elite Yarns, though specific yarn weight and yardage requirements are referenced in the complete pattern documentation. Straight needles are recommended for the flat, seamed construction method used in this design.

Pattern Details and Sizing

The pattern provides detailed instructions for five sizes: XS (76 stitches after ribbing), S (80 stitches), M (84 stitches), L (90 stitches), and XL (96 stitches). The back length ranges from 27 inches in XS to 29 inches in XL, while the front length is consistently 2 inches shorter. Armhole depth increases with size, ranging from 8¼ inches to 10¼ inches, ensuring proper fit across the size range. Strategic shaping includes waist decreases worked every 16 rows and armhole decreases that vary by size to maintain proper proportions.
