This cropped vest is designed to be an easy layering piece. Simple Stockinette stitch and clean line edges highlight a fabulous button. Sample shown is knit with a double strand of yarn throughout. Brooklyn Tweed Loft held together with Rowan Kid Silk Haze makes a warm, soft fabric after blocking. If you are substituting yarns, take care with your fiber choice, swatch and block to insure your vest will not curl.
