Sirdar Headliner Stripe Vest
What Is Being Made
The Sirdar Headliner Stripe Vest (Design No. 10537) is a striped knitted top designed for intermediate-level knitters. This garment is available in six size options ranging from UK 6-28 (US 2-24), with finished chest measurements from 32/34 inches up to 52/54 inches. The vest features a lace top construction and is crafted using a multi-colour striped design that showcases five coordinating yarn shades in a sophisticated colour-blocking pattern.
Techniques Used
This intermediate knitting project employs lace knitting techniques combined with colour work to create visual interest through strategic stripe placement. The pattern requires following size-specific instructions across six graduated size options, demonstrating intermediate-level shaping and construction methods. The use of multiple yarn colours in coordinated shades develops colour-work skills while the lace elements add textural complexity to the finished garment. The design incorporates both front and back pattern pieces with detailed measurements provided for each size to ensure proper fit and drape.
Stitches Used
While the complete stitch guide is referenced on the back pages of the pattern, the design utilizes lace stitching techniques as a primary construction element. The pattern instructions specify exact stitch counts and row sequences for each size, with the lace top shaping forming a key decorative feature of the finished vest.
Materials Required
This project uses Sirdar Stories Double Knitting (DK) yarn in five coordinating shades: shade 835 Smile, shade 810 Spicy, shade 834 Beach Club, shade 815 Picnic, and shade 803 Pillow Talk. Yarn quantities vary by size, ranging from 2 to 3 balls of the main colour and 1 to 2 balls each of the coordinating colours. The yarn is a cotton-rich acrylic blend that provides cool comfort suitable for summer wear while maintaining garment shape and structure. You will also need one pair of 4mm (UK8 - USA6) knitting needles and one pair of 3¼mm (UK10 - USA3) knitting needles for this project. The pattern includes a quality guarantee from Sirdar, a British yarn company established in West Yorkshire in 1880, confirming that the design has been triple-checked for success when using the recommended Sirdar yarns.
