A beautiful Fair Isle vest from Meg Swansen. Inspired by Wisconsin’s fall foliage, this vest features a scoop neck, shaped armholes, corrugated rib, and I-cord finishing. Charts and instructions for 4 sizes, plus an alternate blue/green color way. Knit in Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift wool, which is available from us in over 210 colors. If you love the motifs and don’t want to knit the full vest, there are instructions for a cute matching swatch cap.
