Devon is a light-weight, transition-weather tank that can be dressed up for work, or dressed down for casual wear. It’s perfect work-wear for spring and fall where the days are warm but you still want a little warmth for the early morning commute.

Note: I knit tightly, so the gauge on this sweater is much smaller than recommended for Devon wool. Adjust needle size accordingly for your own personal tension.

Erratum Add k1, p1 ribbing for 5 rnds to waist of vest, BO loosely, as part of finishing.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
