Vest Inis is an oversized vest with 4 beautiful colors that is partly knitted with the fair isle technique.
Construction: this vest is knitted bottom up in the round till the armholes. Then the back and front pieces are knitted separately. The shoulder seams are closed and we have to pick up stitches along the neck and armholes for the rib stitch.
Level: Intermediate (you have to have knowledge about: fair isle knitting, knitting in the round and picking up stitches for neck and armholes)
This vest is described in 3 sizes (S/M, L/XL and XXL/XXXL) and the pattern is available in English. It is a totally written pattern, but I have added a diagram for the fair isle stitches and colors of the first 88 rounds/rows.
