A vest knit in an intarsia pattern of brocade based on a mid-nineteenth century Italian silk brocade gown.

Use either 3.0 mm or US 3 for the larger size needle.

The sample for men was made from Edina Ronay Silk & Wool and Fine Cotton Chenille; the women’s version used Edina Ronay Silk & Wool and Mulberry Silk. Yardage reflects the minimum women’s through the men’s largest.

Errata - There is an error in the chart on rows 87-91 on the left front in the middle of the center motif. A comparison of both sides will show where a set of B should shift 1 st to the right.
