Cambridge is a stunning yet simple women’s wrap-front vest that makes the perfect luxurious layering piece. Knit in Valley Yarns merino and cashmere blend, Taconic, the sweater has an eye-catching stitch pattern along the bottom hem on front and back, and that continues up the front bands - a textured detail that makes it even more fun to knit. Add a lovely shawl pin to hold the overlapping fronts in place or leave it open. The garment is worked in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The Cross Stitch pattern is charted and written out.
