Jile Vest
Fair Isle-inspired panels frame the front of Jile Vest, while self-striping yarn knit sideways and accented with white adds a fun touch. The construction makes it an interesting knit while still being simple. The sides and back are knit in one piece. Stitches are picked up along the edge of one front panel and joined to the edge of the second panel, making finishing a breeze. A special feature is the neckline trim, worked so that it gives shape to the back neck when the hood isn’t being worn. When the cooler weather say “layer,” Jile Vest is perfect to wear indoors or out - under a jacket or by itself.
