This waistcoat design from Lisa Richardson uses a stranded colourwork pattern with acorn-like motifs. A solid green shade of Rowan’s Felted Tweed is used for the background colour, and is paired with the gradient-effect Felted Tweed Colour. The waistcoat has a corrugated rib hem, while the armhole borders and button bands are knitted in garter stitch stripes. The garment is knitted flat in pieces, then seamed.

The pattern is available in 9 sizes to fit 28-30” to 60-62” chest.
