Four colors, three solids & one variegated, all in a wonderful mohair blend yarn, are knitted in a stranded check pattern to make this v necked vest in four sizes from S 37” to XL 50” finished chest.

The secret? Choose colors that are similar in hue and slightly contrasting in value. The variegated yarn pulls them all together.

Yardage:
440-700 yds. MC (variegated La Boheme)
100-160 yds. each of the three solid contrast colors.
