Emily's Vest
My friend Emily wanted to buy a chunky knit vest but wanted it out of wool and not acrylic. I decided that I could write a pattern and knit one for her and here it is, Emily’s Vest :)
This quick knit vest is worked from the bottom up in seed stitch with cable panels on the front. It features a shaped collar and large set in pockets. The only seaming is at the shoulders and along the back neck.
Finished measurements at bust: 34 ¼ (40, 45 ¾, 51 ¾, 57 ½, 63 ¼, 69)”
Designed to be worn with 4-6” of positive ease.
