Ribbed Vest



I ran into this pattern on ravelry last week and stopped by my local yarn store to pick up the yarn and pattern to make one for myself. I knit it up in four days with a little break in there to help Jon with his office floor.





The vest is actually knit flat and then folded in half and sewn up the sides to make the arm holes. It's reversible and the pattern is one size fits all with a nice thick, bulky yarn, so it was a fun and quick knit.






Pattern: Baby Alpaca Grande Vest N026
by Sarah Punderson

Yarn: Berroco Peruvia Quick (4 skeins)
Color: 9117 Charcoal Grey
Needles: 13
Rav link: craftr's ribbed vest

    Oooh, this is great! I have been obsessed with gray as of late, but I also love the shape of this. I might be finishing a sweater in the next couple of days. Which is funny since it just got warm yesterday. ;)

    I love it! and it looks so nice on you. I have always been interested in Plymouth Yarn patterns, but haven't been able to find them to buy. I will just have to lust over your vest!

    WOW! I am so impressed. If I ever get past scarves and dishcloths, maybe I'll actually try knitting a piece of clothing...right now it's just on the sewing machine!
