A Knitted vest is a useful layering garment all year round - this timeless piece is so versatile and is a perfect combination of style and comfort.
The Textured Cable Vest is knitted in the round from bottom up using two main colour yarns of different textures held together: Drops Lima and Kid silk mohair, which add softness and sophistication.
The Vest features a V neck, a slightly oversized cable knit, with stripey-coloured ribbing at hem, armbands and neckband.

MEASUREMENTS AFTER BLOCKING
One size: Fits S - M (S - oversized).
Vest flat width (just below armhole) - 50 cm/ 19 ¾ ins.
Vest length (from top of the shoulders) - 50 cm/ 19 ¾ ins.

GAUGE (Tension): 20 sts and 24 rows = 10 cm (4 ins), garment being blocked and measured over stockinette st pattern, using 4.00 mm (US 6) needle, and Drops Lima and Drops Kid Silk held together.
NB Needle size is only a guide- if you get too many stitches for 10 cm, take a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches for 10 cm, take a smaller needle size. It’s very important to check your gauge (tension) before starting as working to the wrong tension will mean your garment won’t be size shown.
