Sola Vest
Sola Vest is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back is worked first to the base of the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the right and left fronts, which are worked separately to the
base of the armholes. The fronts and back are joined and worked flat to the hem. Stitches are then picked up and worked in the round for the armhole edging. Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted for the front band. The vest is fastened with two pair of i-cords.

Gauge / With 4 mm (US 6) needle:
22 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10cm/4 x 4” in stockinette stitch after blocking.
As this design combines several different lace patterns, a single pattern gauge would not accurately represent the fabric as a whole. Please use the stockinette gauge as a reference when choosing your yarn and needle size.
Recommended ease: 0~40cm/0~15.75”
When choosing size, measure the largest circumference of your upper body, add your preferred ease, and choose the closest finished measurement. If between sizes, I recommend
choosing the larger one.
