String Kryssi Vest Knitting Pattern

Kryssi Vest from String is a fun zipped women’s vest knit in Amalfi, a lofty and light worsted-weight yarn, and Flora Paillettes, a lovely cotton blend yarn with a subtle sparkle. The vest is perfect for laying over your favorite turtlenecks or tees and is a staple in your wardrobe!  Kryssi is knit flat in pieces with two strands of yarns held together throughout. The shoulders are joined with Three-Needle Bind-Off, and the sides are seamed. The collar stitches are picked up along bound-off stitches, then folded over and sewn. The zipper is sewn on last.
