What could be easier than garter stitch and stocking stitch for this goodlooking gilet.
But this design has real style too.
The smoothness of the stocking stitch in the waist area contrasts so well with the texture of the garter stitch, and shapes the waist a little to give a flattering silhouette.
If you hate sewing on borders, you’ll love this, as there are none!
