Cavendish
A classic shaped waistcoat in a lovely 8 row houndstooth colour-work design. The front borders and armhole borders are in rib, edged with the contrast colour.
Great for days out and about or relaxing at home, this is a very smart extra layer.
I chose strong contrasts for the design, but choose subtle shades for an more understated look.
Please note, the pattern contains a copy of my original hand-written chart.
