• Product description

  Olga chose a clean, simple silhouette to feature Trace’s graphic colorwork gradient that moves from dark to light over the length of the garment. The vest features several gorgeous details: graceful hem facings along the base of the body, neck opening, & armholes, and side vent with varied length on Front/Back pieces. While the body length is different on Front and Back, the neck depth is the same; in this way, the piece can be worn with either side as front, giving the wearer styling options. We photographed the sample with the longer piece in back.

  Designer: Olga Buraya-Kefelian

  Collection: Wool People, Volume 2

  CONSTRUCTION 

  • Vest begins with Front and Back hem facings being worked separately. After working the turned facing, you will cast on a steek to work the colorwork sections of each hem in the round; one is slightly longer than the other.
  • Both hems are then joined together into the round for working Body. Body is worked circularly throughout.
  • At the underarm, steeks are cast on for armholes, to maintain circular knitting. All steeks are 7 stitches and will be worked in a “checkerboard” pattern on 2-color rounds. Steeks 3 and 4 are created at the base of the neck opening on Front and Back.
  • Steeks are cut, then shoulders are seamed. Hemmed facings are added to the base of neck and armhole openings during finishing.

  
  

  FINISHED DIMENSIONS

  • 35½ (37¼, 40½, 45¾, 49¼, 52½)” garment circumference at chest
