A beautifully light vest top perfect for layering. Designed to be knit in our delicious mini mohair, this vest top is made in the round so it’s a really lovely project without any of the sewing up!

Knit in a delicate textured purl detailed pattern, this vest top has deep armholes and a ribbed v-neck meaning it’s perfect over any kind of top – collared or not. The pattern has 4 sizes, covering UK 4-26. Choose a more fitted style or go oversized depending on the look you are going for.

This knit is suitable for intermediate knitters. It is a lovely repetitive pattern but with some pick up and knitting at the end for the rib.
