The Ember Vest is a cozy, textured V-neck vest that is knit up using a drop-shoulder construction. Its asymmetric cable pattern is a welcome challenge for experienced knitters and encourages a “just-one-more-row” mentality which makes the project fly by in no time. The vest is designed to have a boxy and rather cropped fit, providing a nice balance to the thicker gauge.

General Note: As a “one-woman-show” I translated this pattern myself. As a native German grammar mistakes in the English pattern can occur.
