Sizes given are finished measurements. You’ll need 5 (6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11) hanks of the recommended yarn to knit the different sizes. Sample shown in color “Barn Door”.

The Woodcutter Vest rounds out the vest chapter, providing a style with a classic silhouette, in a durable yarn, with a funky modern closure. It offers a figure-flattering scoop neckline and makes a great layering piece for chillier days without being bulky or boxy.

It’s worked in three pieces from the bottom up, with edgings picked up and worked after seaming. The back and fronts include waist shaping to keep things tailored.

Closure by Jul and is fantastic - it screws into the finished cardigan edges, so no buttonholes or finishing are required. Find them here.
