Cute top with asymmetrical closure can be worn alone or as a vest. Leave as-knit or may be “fulled” - a controlled process that deliberately shrinks wool to make a more felt-like fabric.

Fit: Loose

Measurements for sizes S (M, L, 1X, 2X):

Chest (approx.): 39 (44, 47, 51, 56)“
Length (if not fulled): 19.5 (20.5, 21, 22, 22.5)”

Yarn:

  • Medium weight yarn in any fiber (non-superwash wool, if fulling)
  • 700 (800, 900, 1000, 1100) yds

Other Materials: Three 2” hook-and-eye clasps OR five 3/4” buttons; (optional) two 3/4” snaps
