A really beautiful, cosy gilet, perfect for layering in Autumn and Winter.

The main pattern is a simple twisted basket stitch. The collar and cuffs are folded over to form a lush fur effect - these could be worked in a contrasting colour for added impact!

** For the 3 larger sizes you may find it easier to use a 9 mm and 10 mm circular needle (or a 3rd 9 mm and 10 mm needle could be used instead), to hold the larger number of stitches on the back. But you will still be working backwards and forwards in rows.**
