Lisa Richardson has created an elegantly simple cotton vest, with a moss stitch fabric, and added a touch of glamour by incorporating dramatic straps that are knotted along the neck edge for an almost sculptural effect.
The main yarn is Rowan’s smooth Summerlite 4ply, which is combined with a metallic laceweight thread in the knotted sections for added sparkle.
The vest has a split opening at the back neck, fastened with a button.
