NOVITA x LAINE DK: Calme Vest

The simply elegant knit vest is a versatile piece that can
be worn on its own like a top, or layered over a shirt or
t-shirt. Knitted in soft Laine DK yarn, it feels wonderfully
gentle against bare skin. Worked seamlessly from the top
down, the design unfolds in a calm, unhurried rhythm,
making it easy to knit and surprisingly quick to complete
— a piece to enjoy wearing and creating alike.
