The Souline Vest is a cozy, textured layering piece featuring beautiful stripes and the luxurious softness of Lion Brand Yarn’s 100% Baby Alpaca. Worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, the vest splits at the underarms for armhole shaping and features a softly rounded neckline, finished with simple ribbing around the armholes and neckline. The pattern is graded in sizes XS–5X, making the Souline a beautiful and versatile addition to any handmade wardrobe.
