A straight vest inspired by Haider Ackermann’s architectonic style and jewel colours. It features arcades knitted by cables, framed by double moss/seed stitch and ends with an I-cord trim around the neck and armholes. The double front gives the vest weight - close it as you prefer with a shawlpin or a belt. Close it at the top for a trendy look and an asymmetrical opening. The sample is knitted in the beautiful Tinde pelsullgarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk in a turquoise mélange colour.

Arcade Vest is available in English and Norwegian to download.
