The Elainie Bolero Vest is a timeless and versatile accessory that will add a fine touch to your basic wardrobe. Knit with cotton and it is a summer piece. Knit with wool and it becomes a winter piece. There are also many ways to wear the vest! The back panel is intended to be a racer back, however, a regular back version is provided as well.

The vest is a very easy knit which is perfect for beginners. The circular vest is actually made up of two rectangular pieces: a long edging piece that goes around to create a circle for the collar, and a small rectangular piece to form the back panel.
