Anniken Allis has created this dreamily pretty vest top, which has a matching poncho available. The shaped vest features a scoop neckline and a lacy hem. It has been knitted in Artesano’s pure alpaca DK yarn; at the time of writing, it was unclear whether this yarn would still be available, so we have suggested an alternative baby alpaca yarn.
