Sizes given are finished measurements. You’ll need 6 (7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 14) balls of the recommended yarn to knit the different sizes. Sample shown in color “Oatmeal”.

This vest showcases a completely different look than the others in its chapter - it’s casual and beachy, thanks to the cottons-silk tweed yarn, slight shaping, and wide A-line tunic. A simple roman stripe lace pattern decorates the hem to give you some interest without complicating this simple garment.

The lace is worked on smaller needles than the rest of the vest, but still ends up wider than the Stockinette, which creates a slightly rippled, casual effect.
