PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DIGITAL KNITTING PATTERN ONLY.
NO PHYSICAL PRODUCT WILL BE SENT WITH PURCHASE.

The Rolling Sunset Vest is a quick to make, statement piece inspired by glowing sunsets over rolling hills. This cropped vest can be worn over a shirt for a more formal look or on its own to make it casual.

Rolling Sunset is knit bottom up, starting in rows, then in the round and finished in rows again. The cuffs and collar are picked up from the body with seaming only required on the shoulders. To avoid excess waste and bulkiness, makers should use the intarsia colour work method.
This pattern would be suitable for an advanced-beginner.

The pattern includes both WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS and COLOUR CHARTS.
