A classic knit with twist stitch detail. A versatile vest designed for effortless layering in Patons Solace 8 ply.

This vest features a striking twist stitch pattern, framed by vertical ribbing at centre back, underarms and front bands. It is worked from the bottom up in one piece to the armholes, then divided to complete the fronts and back separately.
