I love a good vest. I also love easy textures. By mixing basic stitch patterns like ribbing, garter stitch, and stockinette stitch with smooth and fuzzy yarns, you can have the best of all worlds. Easy to work up, yet it changes both st patterns and textures often enough to keep it interesting. Plus, there’s the fun of mixing and matching colors which means each one you make can have totally different vibes.

The Linden Vest was originally designed as the 2023 Puget Sound LYS Tour featured knit pattern for The Fiber Gallery.
