ABOUT THE PATTERN
Braided Lines is a modern and delicate sleeveless vest, where the cables are shaped using short rows without wraps, creating soft curves that flow through the fabric. Optional beads add a subtle touch of sparkle, perfect for those who enjoy a special detail — they are added using a crochet hook.
The construction is worked from the top down, starting with a provisional cast-on. First, the back is knit; then the stitches for the front pieces are picked up, allowing the cable to flow continuously over the shoulder with no visible seams. Once the upper body is complete, the piece is joined and worked in the round down to the hem.
This pattern includes two versions: one with beads and one without, so you can choose the style that best inspires you.

ACERCA DEL PATRÓN
Braided Lines es un chaleco sin mangas moderno y delicado, donde las trenzas se forman con vueltas cortas sin envolver los puntos, creando curvas suaves que fluyen por el tejido. Puedes agregar mostacillas como un toque sutil de Brillo, es opcional. Estas se insertan con la ayuda de un crochet.
La construcción se realiza de arriba hacia abajo, comenzando con un montaje provisional. Primero se teje la espalda; luego se levantan los puntos para el delantero, lo que permite que la trenza fluya sobre el hombro sin costuras visibles. Una vez terminado el cuerpo superior, se une todo y se continúa tejiendo en circular hasta el borde inferior.
El patrón incluye dos versiones: una con mostacillas y otra sin ellas, para que elijas la que más te inspire.
