Vermont Fiber Designs Greenwich Tunic Vest is a
knitting pattern for a women’s sweater using Plymouth Encore. The sweater is
knit flat in one piece from the bottom up. Stitches are provisionally cast on
for the narrow sleeves, and then the back is knit to the shoulder. The front
sleeves are picked up from the provisional stitches, and then the fronts are knit
similarly to the back to the end of the shoulders, leaving the collar
stitches to be worked to the center back neck. Finally, armhole edging finishes
off the piece. Plymouth Yarn Encore is a favorite machine washable wool blend
for everything from kids' clothing to afghans and beyond! The Beads pattern
is charted and written out.
