PATTERN NOTES
A citadel has a few meanings, including “any strongly fortified place.” With textured seed stitch side panels and a high collar, and worked in a bulky weight wool, this vest is designed to protect you from the elements just as a fortress might protect its residents from an attack.

Citadel is worked from the bottom up in the round. Front and Back are divided at the armholes and are knit flat. Graphic lines using just knits and purls add interest to this wardrobe staple.
