• OLIVIA VEST

    Inspiration
    This vest came out of a conversation with a friend. She said that she couldn’t find vests that she liked and that she would really like to be able to wear vests, so I got down to work and this is how the Olivia vest was born.

    Sizes

    1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) with a bust circumference on finished garment of 94 (105, 116, 127, 133, 144, 155) cm/37 (41.25, 45.75, 50, 50.25, 56.75, 61)”. 10-15 cm/4-6” of positive ease at bust is recommended.

    Do you feel like knitting something simple and eye-catching at the same time? I present you this knitting pattern to knit the Olivia vest. Enjoy the simple openwork pattern that is the basis of this garment and that we like to knit so much.

    In the pattern you will find the instructions to make the vest in 7 different sizes, covering chest contours from 94 cm/ 41.25″ to 155 cm/61″. It is recommended a positive ease of about 10-15 cm/ 4-6″.

    It is a very visual pattern that includes a schematic of the garment and an openwork chart. If you prefer it is also described row by row.

    If you have a beginner-intermediate level of knitting you will knit it without any problem. The vest is knitted from the bottom to the top flat and without seams.

    I will give you tips on how to adapt the garment, for example with the desired length.

    Recommendations

    I do recommend that you have an intermediate level of knitting, so you don’t get frustrated. The lace is formed with increases and decreases, so if you are a very beginner, you may find it frustrating and that is the last thing I would like.

    The pattern has been tech edited to check for any mistakes and tested by several testers to make sure they could follow it without any problems.

    If you want more information go to the construction notes, prerequisites, materials and gauge tabs above.
