PATTERN INFORMATION

If you like ghouls, ghosts and Halloween then this is the perfect vest for you!

This is a great place to start if you’re a beginner to colorwork or if you have always wanted to give intarsia colorwork a go.

This vest can be knit using the intarsia method for the main colours and ghost motif, or alternatively, the ghost can be added on after using the duplicate stitch method following the charted diagram.

This project is knitted flat, in two panels, front and back, bottom up beginning with the ribbing then working the body with decreases for the arm holes and neckline. Shoulders are then seamed together using a 3 needle bind off.
