Nemo Vest
‘Nemo Vest’ is a top-down vest featuring stranded colorwork, where small squares form a cute pattern.
‘Ne-mo’ means ‘square’ in Korean. The design is inspired by a Christmas gift box, with a checked motif accented by vertical lines.
Another key design element is the combination of perfectly matched patterned pockets and the button band and edges worked in double knitting.
Worked flat in all-over colorwork. This design looks best when layered with a turtleneck or a shirt with a cute collar.
The nearly square neckline is designed to flatter your neckline beautifully.
