Vacilando captures the Spanish spirit of wandering and carefree exploration with its geometric basketweave pattern, where shifting directions evoke the many paths of a meandering journey. This comfortable vest is worked bottom-up in three panels, letting the soft texture of a plant-based yarn blend highlight the pattern’s visual interest. Straightforward construction keeps the piece relaxed and wearable, while a charming picot edging adds a sweet finishing touch. Vacilando is a versatile layer that works just as well over a summer dress or with your favourite jeans.
