I am now retired from knit design due to progressive arthritis and I am offering my designs to Ravelry users for free. I will not be providing designer support any longer but my patterns are tech edited and almost all have been tested.

I designed Dorothy’s Vest as part of the TKGA Master Hand Knitting Program which I completed in April 2015. This quick vest is cinched at the waist by cables within a Garter stitch band. The armhole edging and horizontal shawl collar are also worked in Garter stitch. The shoulders are shaped with short rows (instructions included).
