There are two yarn options available for this vest in our knit kits, see them both HERE

The Trotter vest is wonderfully easy to knit but super stylish to wear. It will make a great staple piece to add to your wardrobe. It will look as great over a tee with a casual pair of jeans, as it does over a blouse and skirt or even a dress. It’s a classic design knitted with a very structured yarn.

Knitted flat and in three pieces, seamed with either a decorative simple crochet method as shown here (photo tutorial included) or with the traditional seaming method, if you prefer. The two front pieces have a shaped neckline.
