Traditional cable patterns + modern shape = Guaranteed fun to knit and wear!!
Celtic cables are in the center of front, double seed sts are in the center of back which makes this vest not too heavy and easy to work.
Chunky yarn quickly knits up these beautiful cables and stitch pattern.
The shoulders are shaped with short-rows and exposed seams with 3-needle BO.
The sides are seamed minimum for a modern look or longer seam for a more traditional vest shape.
You have a choice of either cropped length or regular length. Optional turtle neck instructions are also included. Please add extra 65 yards if you choose to knit turtleneck.
