THE KIT INCLUDING THE YARN IS AVAILABLE ON DRIED SQUID KNITS’ WEBSITE.

If you liked the DHG Bib (or Dickey) Vest pattern, you will also love this open-sided vest. Using the same Marni yarns, this vest was created by Dried Squid for those who are not in love with the turtleneck style but want the same warmth and style around your body without sacrificing the sleek silhouette of your winter coat.

This kit is a One Size Fits Most. If you are tall, you can lengthen the bodices by knitting in stockinette stitches until you reach the desired length.

The yarn information on the DHG site says to use US size 11 needle to get 11 stitches x 14 rows in the 4” square but I had to double strand the yarns to get this gauge. INSTEAD, for a single strand, I used US size 7 needle and got 14 sts x 22 rows in the 4” square for this vest. Please make a swatch and figure out the correct needle size to achieve the desired gauge.

6 skeins of DHG Marni was more than sufficient to make this vest but if you want to make it longer (or larger using a larger needle), please purchase 1 or 2 skeins more to accommodate the increased dimension.
