The Design

“Schoolgirl chic.”

With simple styling that lends itself to the classroom, workplace or weekend, this vest is so classic, so quintessential, it could become your uniform. Knit here in one of our all-time favorite yarns, Rowan Felted Tweed ―a fiber we love so much it has graced our shelves since the day we opened! Why? The nubbly soft woolliness is so lovely to work with, and the resulting tweedy fabric with its characteristic flecks of color is so pleasing. And the gauge is so reliable for all our favorite DK-weight garments, time and again.

Lightweight and perfect for layering, this hip-length vest is easily customized to just the right length for you!

Errata & Clarifications

KNITTER'S NOTES
To be sure your garment turns out the right size, it's important to swatch until you get the correct gauge. Stitch gauge determines the fit; row gauge affects the length.

This vest is knitted at 22 sts/30 rows = 4"/10cm. Cast on enough sts for a 6"/15cm-wide swatch; work in St St for 6"/15cm; bind off loosely. Measure and note unblocked gauge for reference when knitting.

Wet block your swatch; let rest for a day or two—gauge can change after it relaxes. Measure again.

If you have more sts or rows per "/cm, your gauge is a little tight; try swatching again on larger needle.

If you have fewer sts or rows per "/cm, your gauge is a little loose; try again on smaller needle.
