Stansfield harkens back to Vermont’s agricultural past when practical knitwear needed to transition from town to field and back. The rugged texture of this lightweight layering piece is created with a simple repetition of knits and purls, rendering a lofty fabric that is an instant classic.

This pattern features bottom-up construction that is worked flat up to the armholes. The two front sections and back are worked seperately until they are joined at the shoulder with classic three needle bind off. The piece is finished with a garter stitch border at the armholes and along the neck, where button holes are placed evenly along the placket.

Designed to be worked with our fingering weight yarns, this vest will make an ideal light weight layering piece that could work equally well for him or her.
