From the book: “Is It a Vest? Is It a Shawl? is a women’s outer garment knit with one multicolored, hand dyed yarn using stockinette stitch and seed stitches> It is another clear example of how the hand dyed yarn does the work of moving the color throughout your project> This garment is essentially a knitted rectangle, but because of the way it drapes when worn, the colors fall differently than you might expect. The color changes on the flaps in the front appear to happen horizontally while the color shifts on the back are vertical.”
