It’s been an amazing experience designing independent knitting patterns these last 12+ years. And throughout it, the many life changes, including a fantastic full-time job, have pulled me from my ability to maintain the upkeep and customer service needed. I’ve decided to close the store and retire all the patterns. It may not be forever, but I need to follow my heart towards other projects for now.

My patterns and pattern support will no longer be available after August 1, 2021.

Until that date, please enjoy a closing discount of 50% off on all patterns (no coupon code needed). Thank you for so many years of support and knitting!

The Salient Vest is wonderfully simple to knit, yet loaded with lace, texture, and urban appeal. The vest is worked flat, sideways, in one piece, using bind off and cast-on techniques for the armholes. While you’ll love the chic layering possibilities, you’ll be thrilled with the fast knit.

Info to Note
This vest is worked flat in one piece. Instructions are given for the smallest size with larger sizes in parenthesis.
The stitch pattern is both written (see The Stitches) and charted for your preference.
