This pullover vest is worked with two fingering-weight strands held together to create a subtle marl. A motif formed with dip stitches decorates the reverse stockinette base fabric on the front, while the back is plain. This design invites you to customize—opt for a cropped length, as shown, or a regular length vest with gentle A-line shaping. Work a split hem with extra length on the back, or not. Knit a folded cowl neck or choose a simple rolled neckline. It’s up to you, and if you can’t decide, you can always knit more than one!

Yarn: Hinterland Dusk (70% Rambouillet wool / 30% alpaca, 112g, 400 yds, single-ply woolen-spun fingering weight). Strands of two colors are held together to achieve an Aran-weight gauge. Sample shown in Honey and Maple.
