The simple sweater vest is a modern, basic staple for your wardrobe - all year round! Layer up with a shirt underneath when it’s cooler or go bare armed on warmer days. Pair it with smart trousers, jeans, joggers, shorts or even over a dress. Everyone needs a simple knit vest in their wardrobe. I reach for mine so often I made it in 3 colours!

This knitting pattern is suitable for advanced beginners. You need to know skills such as knit, knit 2 together, ssk, purl, purl 2 together, picking up stitches and simple seaming.

This knit pattern has available sizes from XS - 2XL, suitable for bust sizes 28 - 50”

There are photos included throughout the pattern to help you along the way.

You will need:

• DK / size 3 weight yarn from 415 - 795 yards. More details are included in the pattern.

• 4mm circular knitting needles with at least 40cm cable for smaller sizes or 60cm cable for larger sizes, OR size needed to obtain gauge.
