Éclat Tweed Vest

The Éclat Tweed Vest is a vest-style jacket that beautifully captures the timeless charm and rich texture of tweed through hand knitting. By holding a boucle yarn together with a subtle metallic strand, the fabric creates a gentle shimmer and dimensional depth, evoking the elegance of classic couture tweed.

Offered in two sizes (M and L), the design features a relaxed drop-shoulder silhouette with generous ease, making it both comfortable and refined. The vest is knit seamlessly from the bottom up to the armholes in one piece. Buttonholes are worked directly into the fabric, eliminating the need for a separate button band.

Shoulders are shaped using German short rows and joined with a crochet slip stitch, creating a clean, fully reversible finish. The edges are completed with a round of reverse single crochet, adding a subtle decorative touch and a polished look from every angle.
