This is a Fair Isle style vest / slipover using eleven colors (two of them alternate as the main, one for the leaves and stalks and the rest for petals) of fingering / jumper weight yarn, knit in the round using steeks for the armhole and neck openings. I used a yak, silk, merino yarn and used the crochet reinforcement for the steeks.

Designed to be worn with 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of positive ease. The model in the photo is wearing the sweater with 3½ inches (9 cm) of positive ease.

There are helpful tutorial links at the back of the pattern. Included are colour charts to reflect the colours in the sample and black and white charts for knitters to choose their own colours.
