Variegated Vest
Pattern Description from Interweave Online Store: “This designer uses a two-ply variegated alpaca yarn in a man’s ribbed, pocketed vest. Because each ply of the yarn is dyed separately, the colors distribute evenly, with none of the blotchiness of some other variegated yarns. The soft, drapy hand of the alpaca gives this handsome vest a comfortable fit.”
Finished Size: 41 (44½, 47½, 51, 54½)“ (104 (113, 120.5, 129.5, 138.5) cm) chest measurement. Vest shown measures 47½” (120.5 cm).
Yarn: JCA/Grignasco Top Print (100% alpaca; 110 yd (100 m)/50 g): #077 forest, 13 (14, 15, 17, 19) balls.
Yarn weight: #2 - Fine
Gauge: 28 sts and 42 rows = 4” (10 cm) in pattern stitch on larger needles.
Needles:
- Body-Size 5 (3.75 mm).
- Ribbing-Size 3 (3.25 mm): 24” (60-cm) circular (cir).
- Adjust needle sizes if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Stitch holders; tapestry needle; seven 1” (2.5-cm) buttons.
