Rowan’s Vest is a garter stitch men’s vest with a wide rib for a modern (yet classic) look. The simplicity of this pattern is great for men who are a bit fussy and just want something plain. The wide range of sizes is a refreshing hit to modern menswear. Batu is constructed from the bottom up in pieces (or seamless…your choice) with a nice wide neckline and generous armhole construction. A great choice for everyone!
