Beautifully styled waistcoat with rounded edges due to “short row” technique. Knitted in 3 parts:

  • 1 upper back (knitted traditionally)
  • 2 lower back and front pieces (R & L), knitted in short rows, starting with a sideways piece which is sewn on to half the lower back and then “turns” to make the front half + collar.

Suits the Noro Mossa wool perfectly, with its bubbly texture and surprising colour changes.
