Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2008: “Masculine geometrics work wonders on a woman’s frame when the silhouette is tapered. Case in point: Galina Carroll’s body-skimming vest with sewn-on mock turtleneck and armbands, colorblocked in ‘Night” and ‘Zarina’ by Filatura Di Crosa/Tahki.Stacy Charles.“

“Close-fitting, mock neck vest with center geometric intarsia motif.”

Knitted Measurements:

  • Small (Medium, Large)

  • Length 20.5 (21, 21.5)“/51 (53.5, 54.5)cm

Notes:

  1. “Piece is worked with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout: Beige and Gold (A), 2 strands of Deep Gray (B), Gray and Silver (C), 2 strands of Brown (D).”
  2. “Use a separate bobbin for each color section. Do not carry yarn across back of work.”
  3. “When changing colors, twist yarns on WS to prevent holes in work.”
