Needle Knitting Kit: Candy Vest
This is a pattern exclusive to the Filarino.
Description of the project
The vest, knitted with 2 strands of mohair, has a classic construction: so the two pieces are made separately: front and back
For this pattern we thought of using the tailoring method for two reasons, the first is an obsessive compulsive perversion…if they are sewn the stripes are perfect 😊 and the second reason is because with such a light yarn, like kid-mohair and silk, the stitching gives some structure to the garment
Techniques used: sartorial knit construction, circular needles for sleeve turn, i-cord for neckline, knit stitch sewing
It is an ideal pattern for beginners who have learned how to make caps and scarves and want to challenge themselves in something more complex
