While we are still enjoying last few weeks of hot weather, it is already time to start thinking about warmer autumn garments and knitting with a wool yarn. Knitting a new vest is a good idea, as it is the perfect piece for transition from summer to the cooler autumn days. Knitting of vest is beneficial in many ways. Firstly, it is the garment, which can be easily worn as a warmer top alone or combined with another layer of clothing. Secondly, knitting the vest is faster than knitting the long sleeves sweater, you need smaller quantity of yarn and you have more chances to finish it in time.
So today, I am happy to share my latest vest design – Spelt slipover.
Designed with deep armholes and plenty of positive ease, this vest looks great in all ways – alone or with long sleeve top underneath. Added strand of mohair yarn gives the vest this pretty slightly fluffy look and creates perfect soft fabric. Thanks to the waist length, the vest takes minimum quantity of DK weight yarn and can be easily completed in a few weeks. Simple textured stitch at front, which reminds wheat spike lets, add interesting detail to the minimalistic design.
