The Golden Hour Vest is worked in three pieces: a back panel and two front panels that come together to form a sleek, blazer-inspired silhouette. The vest has a comfortable length and a deep V neckline, making it versatile for both work and casual wear. Layer it over a crisp button-up for a polished office look, or dress it down with a tube top or crop top for something more relaxed.

The design features the moss stitch, a timeless favorite that creates an even, textured fabric and works up fairly quickly. For closure, I used three 1” buttons, but you can easily adjust the number or size of buttons to make it your own. ​​

For the featured Golden Hour Vest, I used Loops & Threads Heathered Bamboo yarn in the shade “Butter”. This bamboo/acrylic worsted weight blend has beautiful drape and breathability, giving the vest a polished finish that feels smooth and light against the skin. It’s a great option if you want a yarn that feels elevated without the high price tag and it’s widely available and easy to source. If you’d like to customize, you can substitute with any medium (4) worsted weight bamboo blend or a cotton blend for a similar drape and wearability.​
