Knitters tend to love interesting techniques that create beautiful designs such as lace or stranded/Fair Isle knitting. But ask most any knitter about working intarsia and the enthusiasm changes to an instant “no.” I’ve met so many knitters who won’t touch intarsia to save their lives! I can’t tell you why a technique as easy as intarsia gets this undeserved reputation – there is only a simple twist to be performed between colors. What I can tell you is that this vest is fun to knit. Big color blocks of intarsia color work mean the only seaming needed are the side seams. You can use up leftover yarn or start new with a wonderful fall color palette. Bad Rap is a classic vest and sure to be a fall wardrobe staple.
