Heidi’s fancy vest is a super bulky & quick knit, knitted seamlessly from the top down using traditional stockinette stitch holding three yarns together. The back and front sections are worked separately until reaching the armholes.

After this, the pieces are joined, and the body is knitted back and forth in stockinette.
To finish the garment, you have the option of adding single crochet edges with an i- cord tie.

It’s designed to be very oversized to throw over sweaters and jackets with a positive ease of about 25-36cm / 9-14 inches.

The model in the photo is wearing size M knit up in Alpaca Boucle 0100 and Karisma 77. The crochet edges and i-cord are made from Heavy Merino Brown Bear.
