OTHER
4 duffle buttons – 25 mm
The vest is worked from the top down in garter slip stitch, back and forth. Increases are made for both armholes and for the deep V-neck cutout. The arm openings are worked in a single rib, and all rib edges are finished with 2 rounds of double stockinette stitch followed by Italian bind-off. Stitches are picked up for button bands, where later 4 buttons are sewn. Here, you can create a playful interplay of colors in the texture, making good use of leftover yarn!
My gauge swatch with Tvinni + Silk Mohair from Isager resulted in a gauge of 24 stitches x 48 rows before washing and 24 stitches x 46 rows after washing. That is, the vest became a few centimeters longer after washing. This may vary depending on the yarn used, and it is always recommended to make a gauge swatch before starting.
Sizes are calculated based on a positive ease of approximately 6 cm, which you add to your own chest measurement. The pattern follows chest measurements of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm. Example: If your chest measurement is 93 cm, you add 6 cm = 99 cm, which corresponds to size M. Size M will then provide an ease of 8 cm.
The model in the picture has a chest measurement of 83 cm (8 cm positive ease in the vest compared to body measurement) and is wearing size XS.
