The Harvest Vest is super soft and warm, but surprisingly light weight thanks to the lofty mohair in combination with silk and camel yarn. Perfect to add a little warmth to an early fall or spring day.

This pattern was designed to take advantage of the beautiful colours of variegated yarn by using simple details to show off the colours without making the fabric too busy. A near invisible detail, the phantom stripes, help to break up the colour pooling. The two stitch twisted rib adds a pretty detail to the hem and arm edges, and an Icord is the perfect finish at the crew neck collar. The vest is knit in the round from the hem to the arms then knit flat the rest of the way.

This is an oversized garment with 20cm of ease for layering over a long sleeve t-shirt or turtleneck. It has a wide range of sizes to fit teens to 4XL.

A single strand of Aran yarn can be substituted for the two strands of the recommended yarn, but I would suggest trying to keep mohair and silk in the blend to get the same drape.
