Redesigned for either Silken Merino or Silk Sensation, this pretty vest
features the classic beech leaf lace design. Lace panels frame the
front openings of the vest up to the shoulders, with three lace panels
at the back to wow them when you walk away!
Vest is worked from the bottom up. All shaping takes place in the stocking stitch areas, meaning there are no awkward calculations in lace. Finally, a simple yet decorative crocheted edge is worked (photographic instructions are provided) and buttons are sewn on.
Both our samples are shown in Size 1 (34 inches). The green sample to
the left is worked in "Sprout" Silk Sensation (perfect for all-season
wear) and the brown sample to the right is worked in "Mink" Silken
Merino (a warm vest for cooler months).
NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting Patterns use charts.
Recommended for Intermediate lace knitters.
