Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter
Add a beautiful yarn and a textured stitch pattern to a simple vest shape to create a timeless design.
Use a Knit it Now vest pattern to adjust the neck opening to accommodate a wide ribbed band and to get the shoulders to be "just right".
From the designer: Cozy and smart, yet eclectic and colorful, the Voyager Vest will be your layering companion throughout the year. Its boxy, slightly cropped shape is a cinch to style – layer it over a basic white tee or add some prints and patterns for even more fun.
The body of the vest is worked in a slip stitch pattern that resembles woven fabric and looks amazing in coordinating colors of warm, woolly Cobblestone. The finishing touch is the broad ribbing along the armholes and neckband, adding an element of color-blocking to this very variegated piece.
