The Contrast Vest is a wearable oversized vest in a colourful design. It is a unique project, full of geometric shapes in popping colours, inspired by the Fair Isle techniques. The oversized fit adds trendiness to it. It is an item that will express your character and complete your look of the day. This colourful unisex design will match to all ages and sex. Wouldn’t it look great as a couple or family with your loved ones?
The vest is knitted bottom-up, starting from the bottom end in round working in colour patterns up to the armholes. Then, the front and back are worked separately back and forth. The upper vest is worked in the order of left front, right front and back. The shoulders are subsequently grafted together. On the front of the vest, the V-neckline and armholes are shaped simultaneously. Finally, stitches are picked up from the V-neck and armholes to form bands at the edges.
