‘Vestedisse Light’ is a hybrid between a cowl and a vest. The design is worked in elastic 2 × 2 rib, creating a flexible and comfortable fit. The vest can be closed at the sides using “Sew-In Leather Snaps” (purple piece), the shorter “Removable Snaps Mini” for a closer fit (blue piece), or the slightly longer “Removable Leather Snaps” for a looser fit (white piece).
The garment is worked top-down with increases for saddle shoulders. Once the saddle shoulders are established, the work is divided into front and back pieces, which are worked flat separately. ‘Vestedisse Light’ is light and airy, knitted in soft alpaca, and works perfectly as an extra layer under a jacket on chilly days - or as a vest worn over a T-shirt, shirt, or dress.
