〰️ One panel, zero seams, all drape

The Sutherland Waterfall Vest is made as one panel, in one piece, with no seaming at all. Working a garment from a single piece of fabric is so satisfying, and it’s great for beginners.

The waterfall front drapes beautifully over anything, from a tee to a cozy long sleeve. Find yarn substitution ideas and the free version on my blog.
