Description

Xarpo (Carpo) is the Greek goddess of autumn, responsible for the ripening of the harvest. This design is meant to evoke the feeling of crisp air and cool temperatures.

This vest features textured stitch work for plenty of visual interest, short row shaping for the perfect fit, and an on-trend high-low hem. The generous shawl collar is just the thing to keep out the chill as we transition into colder months.

Fit & Sizing

This pattern was written to fit sizes XS through 5XL per the Craft Yarn Council sizing chart. Choose your size with 0-2 inches of positive ease. That means choose the size that is 0-2 inches more than your true bust measurement.

You can review sizing recommendations here: https://www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/body-sizing

(XS, S, M) (L, XL, 2XL) (3XL, 4XL, 5XL)
(28, 32, 36) (40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60) in bust
(71, 81, 91) (102, 112, 122) (132, 142, 152) cm bust

If you are between sizes, I recommend sizing up or adding/subtracting one to two rows on the collar to accommodate a larger or smaller bust.
