Flinders Vee Vest

A refined reinterpretation of the original Flinders Vest, the Flinders Vee Vest introduces a more open neckline while preserving the sculptural cable architecture that defines the design family.

The V-neck shifts how the central cable panel is read, drawing the eye upward and creating a lighter silhouette that layers easily over shirts, dresses, and fine knits. Careful shaping ensures the neckline sits cleanly without flaring, while the body retains the tailored character of the original vest.

The design is offered in both cropped and full-length options, allowing the proportions to be adapted for different wardrobes and styling preferences.

Worked bottom-up with classic set-in armhole shaping and grafted shoulders, the vest combines traditional garment construction with modern finishing techniques. Clear written instructions, charts, and linked video tutorials guide knitters through the structural elements of the design.

Part of the Lodestar Collection, the Flinders family explores sculptural cables across a series of garments and accessories designed to carry the same architectural language across seasons and yarn weights.

Sample shown: Cropped version knit in Lana Grossa Cool Wool Melange (sport weight), shade Blue Melange 1427, size 5XL – 7 skeins.
