My knitting process is extremely freeform, and this is the very first knitting pattern I have created. This means that you will have to make some choices while knitting this vest, for example, what kind of yarn to use, which is up to you and your artistic freedom. The pattern allows you to think freely, and I hope you can thrive in that.
Otherwise, you are more than welcome to contact me at kniitslip@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Level: Beginner + Lower intermediate

Techniques:

• Stockinette stitch
• Ribbing (optional)
• Binding off
• Raglan method
• Fair Isle technique

What you will need:

• 40 cm size 6 mm needle
• 80 cm size 6 mm needle
• 8 stitch markers (or more)
• Extra yarn/thread to put the sleeves on hold

Needle Size:
I used size 6 mm needles. I recommend using a
size 5-7 mm needle if you don’t have a size 6 mm.

Overview:
Throughout the tee Fair Isle technique is used. First, the neckline is knitted in the round,
then the sweater is divided into four sections
for the Raglan method. Raglan increases are
knitted. From here, the sleeves are separated
from the body and put on hold on extra yarn.
The rest of the body is knitted in the round
and finished. Then the sleeves are picked up
and bound off.

Yarn:
For this project, you will need two different types and colors of yarn. You will need at least 200 m of yarn per color.

Size:
The pattern shows sizes xs-m, but the size is customizable. The size guide is indicative. Since knitwear stretches and expands with use, I believe many different body types will be able to fit the same sweater – especially this one. The gauge can also determine the final size of the shirt, as frequent color changes and different yarn types can either make the sweater tighter or looser, depending on your knitting tension. Therefore, the chart above shows the size of the two sweaters I have knitted as a starting point, rather than providing specific sizes. If you tend to knit tightly, I recommend going up a needle size.
