Knitted in a mix of smooth wool and soft alpaca yarns, this gilet will not only keep your body warm over the winter, but the cosy texture mixed with the basic shapes makes it the perfect garment for layering. The simple asymmetrical stripes reflect this season’s bohemian runway trends that you can knit yourself and the coordination colours will add a chic twist to any plain outfit. Best of all, there’s little shaping involved so this pattern is great for beginner knitters.
