Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7
Garment bust circumference: approx. 93 (104) 110 (116) 126 (133) 140 cm

The vest is designed with approximately +15 cm of positive ease. For example: if you measure 95 cm around the fullest part of your bust, size 3 will fit as shown in the pictures. If you want a more oversized fit, choose a size based on a larger bust circumference. Choose a smaller size for a more fitted silhouette.

Full length: approx. 51 (53) 54 (55) 56 (57) 59 cm

Suggested needles: 5.5 mm and 4.5 mm circular needles (40 cm and 80/100cm)

Gauge: 14 sts × 22 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 5.5 mm needles

Note: Gauge is given after blocking. This is an important step. If you knit tightly, use larger needles. If you knit loosely, use smaller needles.

Recommended yarn: Alpakka Lin from Rauma (50 g = 175 m) held together with Finull from Rauma (50 g = 175 m)

Yarn amounts:
Color 1: Alpakka Lin 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 150 g + Finull 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 150 g

Color 2: Alpakka Lin 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 150 g + Finull 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (100) 150 g

You may use other yarn that meets the required gauge. Remember that yardage affects total yarn needed.

Other materials: Closures (hooks or other fastening mechanisms). I used key-ring hooks linked together for a modern look.

I recommend testing how many closures look best on your vest. I used 3 (L: 58 mm, W: 10 mm), but you
can use more or fewer depending on your preference
