Glenmoira Vest by Evelyn Siatra

This fair isle V-neck vest is designed with a palette of six colours to create a pretty slip-over, featuring deep ribbing at the waist. Floral and classic Fair Isle motifs (such as the OXO pattern, and bands of traditional smaller motifs) take us away to Scotland, to meet our destiny in a magical valley in the Highlands. This vest is the perfect layering accessory – it combines a pop of colour for dim autumn days with fun vintage flair. The back and front are worked flat from the bottom up, and the neckband and armhole bands are picked up and knit to finish.
