An attractive, useful gilet for all seasons. I have designed this for ease of knitting and also minimal sewing up. The main pattern is a simple 4 row, slightly textured pattern. The lovely diamond panel looks as though it is cabled, it’s not, so if you don’t like cabling, you’ll love this. The front borders and the narrow armhole edgings are all worked in one with the fronts and back, so no borders to sew on, except for a tiny bit across the back of the neck. A beautiful, versatile addition to any wardrobe .
