Ruffle Wraparound Vest
by Liz Haywood
From the description: This garter-stitch top is knitted in one piece from the bottom up. A silk tie complements the ruffled front, yet it’s not too elaborate for day-to-day wear.
Needles and notions:
- 1 pair 4mm / US6 straight needles or 1 circular
- 2 stitch markers
- 30cm x 112cm fabric for ties OR 2.4 (2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8)m of 3.5cm wide ribbon. We used silk fabric
Finished measurements:
- Bust: 87 (92, 97, 102, 107)cm / 34 (36, 38, 40, 42)“
- Waist: 71 (77, 82, 87, 92)cm / 28 (30, 32, 34, 36)“ (excluding 7.5cm / 3” wrapover)
Notes: Entire top is knitted in garter stitch. Slip the first stitch of each row. To make it easier to distinguish the RS from the WS, tie a piece of scrap yarn to the RS as you begin working.
Note from designer: I wore the vest (pictured in the magazine) to work and the armholes sagged….and sagged….and sagged. So, to stop armholes stretching, pick up 75-80-85-90-95st on dpt needles around armhole, with rs facing you. Knit one round and cast off. (Lizzydizzy)
