Valley Yarns 40th Anniversary 17 Long Collared Vest

Designed by Sally Melville for Valley Yarns, Berkshire Bulky makes this Long Collar Vest a quick knit. And the stitch pattern—adapted from Barbara Walker’s Small Quilted Cross Stitch—has a wonderful texture and stability. The latter is important when you make a garment long enough to sit on!
