Worked top-down, the Torino Vest is easy to try on as you make it, ensuring the best fit for either you or its intended recipient. The folded collar adds a bit of warmth and texture around the neck and the main stitch used in the body of the vest provides the perfect balance of opaqueness in the fabric, while still maintaining a beautiful drape. Featuring a slightly oversized fit, the Torino Vest is easy to layer all year long.
