VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR THIS PATTERN:

Fully Trellised Vest: Cable Tutorials

PATTERN NOTES: This unisex size-inclusive vest includes two versions and is worked seamlessly in the round from bottom up. Version 1 is standard full-length body and Version 2 is a cropped version. And there are two options for the shoulder widths: Narrower Shoulder and Wider Shoulder. Stitches are picked up for the neck and sleeve edges and worked in ribbing in the round.

PRINTING NOTE: This is a checklist pattern; it is not necessary to print the entire pattern if you prefer not to use the checkboxes for each section.

EASE: Intended to be worn with 1-3”/2.5-7.5 cm) cm positive ease. To achieve this, please choose a size that is 1-3” / 2.5 - 7.5 cm bigger than your bust/chest circumference, if you prefer more ease, choose the next larger size.

GAUGE: The gauge for this vest is tighter than usual for most DK weight yarns, due to the drapey and slippery nature of the Farmer’s Daughter Fiber yarn choice which is amazing BTW. Please make sure to wash and block your swatch to get an accurate outcome or make a size smaller due to choosing a larger gauge.

YARN: DK weight yarn one color (255 yds/233 m] per 100 g)
