The Sherpette is a unique and fun to wear hooded vest. This garment has lots of visual interest from the dramatic change in gauge from a fingering weight ribbing yarn to the fluffy, thick yarn of the body, along with sweet ribbon details. The Sherpette is knit from the body up in one piece. The front and armhole bands are then picked up and knit, followed by weaving in the ribbon through eyelets.
