Sweater Construction
A top-down yoke vest with an easy colorwork chart with incorporated increases. Short rows are used to enhance the fit and provide a higher back neck. This is a great piece for a beginner Fair Isle knitter with frequent stitch counts and links to technique tutorials. The use of self-striping yarn for the colorwork provides excitement and interest in looking forward to the next color and the effect it will have on the design. The Raining Hearts & Flowers Vest is perfect to wear anytime, especially on a day when you need to feel the sense of accomplishment.
