This updated pattern provides you with fit options – both for a shaped vintage fit or a straight fit option and a choice of body lengths. This beautiful pattern has been updated to be knit in the round from the bottom up with steeks added at armholes and front neck.
Two colourways are suggested – our classic updated version with a camel background or the original vintage pattern colourway of a pale blue background with varying shades of blue and pink to create a more tonal option. With a vest this perfect why not knit both?
