Knitting pattern vest Claire - super bulky / super chunky yarn

Vest Claire is a versatile piece of clothing that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. I have knitted this vest with a yarn with yarn weight: super chunky / super bulky. Easy and fast to knit and perfect for winter layering

Vest Claire is knitted bottom up and is easy to knit. It is knitted in the round till the armholes. Then divided in a front and back piece and knitted flat. You don’t have to increase or decrease stitches and you only have to know knit and purl stitches. There is no front or back to this vest. Both sides are identical.
After knitting you have to sew the shoulder seams.

This vest is described in 5 sizes (S, M, L, XL and XXL) and the pattern is available in English and Dutch.

Level easy; you must have knowledge of:
o Slip stitches (I have explained them in the pattern)
o Knit and Purl stitches
o Knitting in the round
