This pattern is for adult sizes with a chest circumference of 32” - 68”. Please select the Randolph Vest for Kids for child sizes from 6 months to 10 years. Thank you!

Versatility is the key to the Randolph Vest, a #sizeinclusive design for women and men. Perfectly suited to three seasons of wear, this cabled garment works equally well over turtlenecks, button-down shirts, blouses, and dresses! The vest also features an updated silhouette with a slightly oversized fit that falls to the mid-hip. The texture of the cables shows up best in a smooth yarn that has a solid or mostly solid colorway.

The body is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes. The front and back are each knit flat and then seamed at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up around each armhole and the neckband to work the armbands and neckband, respectively. The armbands also feature professional looking (and optional) tubular edges. The pattern features 3 different options for finishing the neckband, including the folded neckband shown here.
