The Marina Vest is very simple to create and be made in 4 different sizes – XS to XL. The size constraints exist only due to the limited number of needles on the machine – the Sentro Knitting Machine has a maximum of 48 needles, and the Addi King Knitting Machine has a maximum of 46 needles.

The Marina Vest is created mostly using the Sentro Knitting Machine, but the finishing touches are done with a crochet hook. It is possible to complete this pattern with minimal crocheting, however it is recommended to have knowledge of the most basic crochet stitches – such as the single crochet, slip stitch and chain.

The pattern is beginner-friendly, and does not require much knowledge on how to use the knitting machine!
