This is a classic vest pattern with a v-neck and 6-button closure. The armhole, bottom and front bands are knit in seed stitch. It requires a circular size 7 needle as well as the straights to knit the front and neck band. The pattern is free with purchase of the yarn.

Both are available for retail sale only on Blue Herons’ website at a special price. I felt this pattern and yarn went very well together and plan to design more with this yarn in the near future. The subtle striping of the nearly monochromatic colors, plus the touch of metallic gave a bit of pizzazz to this classic style. Barbara Lundy Stone
