Introduction

This drapey sleeveless vest is the perfect layer for cooler days. Beginner-friendly and easy to make, it uses a variation on the mixed cluster stitch to create a beautiful fabric and a soft, loose fit.

The vest is worked in one piece from the lower edge up to the underarm. The piece is then divided for armholes, and back and fronts worked separately.

• 1600m/1750y or 400gr/14oz. of sports/fine yarn. I used 4 balls of Hobbii’s Twister Solid in dark gray. If you want to make a larger size, make sure you get at least 5 balls.
• 4mm hook (G-6 US) (8 UK)
• Stitch markers
• Tapestry needle to weave in ends

Gauge
18 stitches and 14 rows in mixed cluster stitch in a 10x10cm/4x4” square (or 9 x 7 full clusters, which might be easier to count)
