Like notes playing across the staffs of music, the subtle lace eyelets of Sweet Melody Vest drift in and out of a flattering cascade of textured wavy columns. The slightly fluted lower edge is a nice touch, too. This vest is knitted as one piece. You can leave the front opening buttonless or embellish with button loops and buttons as shown in the model for a center-front closure.

Sample model was knitted in Lorna’s Laces Green Line DK, color Mirth. Buttons and button loops are optional. Buttons are handmade in Fimo clay. Button loops are Kreinik 3/8” Trim, color #245 Bright Magenta.
