The lakeside vest is an excellent and easy addition to any wardrobe!
The colour accents on the ribbing allow for visual interest and personal expression using contrasting colours to the chosen main colour.
The Standard and Fitted version are included in this purchase, so it’s really two patterns in one. This allows for a greater diversity of bodies to be able to access this pattern and feel their most confident selves.

The main difference between fitted or standard is in the shaping of the shoulders. The standard design has wider shoulders that would suit someone with a wider torso and shoulder to shoulder measurement. The fitted design has narrower shoulder shaping, thus creating a more fitted illusion. Standard will take more yarn than fitted for this reason.
