Zigvest

$6 AUD

A super cute and easy to knit seamless boy’s vest. The perfect fit and style for boys (and even girls) of all ages.

Knit from the bottom up and completely seamless, this pattern is written for both 8ply and 10ply yarns.

The pattern has two alternative necklines; a modern funked up stand up collar on a crew neck and a traditional v-neck version.

The stitch pattern is both in written and charted form, and also has a video link for working the cable/twists without a cable needle. The cabling across the wide size range is worked in detail for each size precisely.
