Vest Fluffy is a modern vest with a nice big cowl. The vest is closed by sewing on buttons on the button flaps at the side.

Vest Fluffy is an intermediate knitting pattern for a vest for women. It is knitted flat in 1 piece; at the end we cast on stitches around the neckline for the cowl and we are going to knit this cowl in the round.

This vest is knitted from the front bottom-up until we have to decrease for the neckline. Then we divide it into a left- and right shoulder part. At the back we are going to merge the stitches and continue to knit from the top of the back to the bottom. Just before we have to knit the rib stitch we are going to increase and decrease stitches for the button flaps.

I have knitted this vest with Lana Grossa Lala Berlin Fluffy
