55th Street Vest
Designed by Jennifer Miller for the 2018 Puget Sound LYS Tour.
Layer this versatile vest over your favorite outfit for instant polish. We knit our summer version in Zooey, a linen/cotton blend yarn with light-weight, elegant drape; however, we are already dreaming of a woolen version to add sophisticated structure to our fall wardrobes. Choose your favorite solid color or add a little kick by knitting a complementary block of color into the neckband.
