This vest is worked from the bottom up in stockinette and, before finishing, is turned inside out. Then, the previously invisible purlstitch stripes pop out decoratively on the outside. Järbo 2 tr ull is a delightful yarn to knit with and is available in many fine colors. You’ll also find a Strimma skirt design in this series.

Stine has always loved to knit and crochet and is now proud that her big hobby and passion has become her way of life.
This pattern is part of Järbo’s spring and summer collection Gröna Rum (Green Rooms in Swedish).
