Meet the Acacia Vest - the perfect introductory project to cable knitting that you simply won’t be able to put down! This pattern encourages you to experiment with colour and is perfect for using up scraps! The Acacia Vest is knitted using two strands of worsted weight yarn held together.

Skill level: Intermediate (includes video tutorials to ensure the pattern is beginner friendly)

You will need 300g-900g of worsted weight yarn.

You will need 6mm and 8mm knitting needles. This piece is knit flat, so you can use circulars or straight needles, whatever you prefer! I personally prefer and recommend using circulars, as they allow for more flexibility when knitting and ensure your stitches will all fit/stay on your needles.

You will also need a cable needle and some stitch markers.
