Lola is a fun colorblock vest with a v-­‐neck and contrast edging.

I always loved the “wrong” side of a piece of color work, and the way the yarns twist around each other. My original idea for this vest was quite different than the outcome, as I was selecting yarns I realized it was going to take on a different look.

Choose your favorite colors, something wild, or stick with a single color.
Try bright or school/team colors for the young, go traditional or personal for more mature.

Lola has no shaping, the rolled neck is knit with the body, the only finishing work is the armholes and side seams.

11 sizes to fit teens through plus, no one has to miss out.
