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. Front and armhole bands are worked separately on smaller needles, then sewn in place overlapping at the underarm.
