Embassy Row Vest and Tank
Switch it up depending on the season or your personality! Knit in silks and linens, it is a summery tank, or opt for a wooly wool with ribbed edging for a traditional vest. “I designed this piece for knitters like me, who enjoy returning to a pattern more than once,” Stephanie says. “Often when I am knitting it again, I find the confidence to make modifications and changes I wouldn’t have felt sure about at first.”
