Harvest Vest – Fall
Our final pattern in the 4 Season of Hand Maiden collection, the Harvest Vest is knit holding our Maiden Hair and our Merino Camel Lace together. This creates a super soft and warm, but surprisingly light weight fabric thanks to the lofty mohair in combination with silk and camel yarn. Perfect to add a little warmth to an early fall or spring day.
The Harvest Vest was designed to take advantage of the beautiful colours of variegated yarn by using simple details to show off the colours without making the fabric too busy. A near invisible detail, the phantom stripes, help to break up the colour pooling. Worked in a solid colour the phantom stripes add a more visibly pretty and subtle detail. The two stitch twisted rib adds a pretty detail to the hem and arm edges, and an I-cord is the perfect finish at the crew neck collar. The vest is knit in the round from the hem to the arms then knit flat the rest of the way.
This vest is a slightly shaped boxy cut garment with a nice twisted stitch detail that gives the illusion of a stripe.
