A deep scoop neckline gives a feminine edge to this lushly cabled vest. Twisted stitches make the cables pop and add texture. Dressed up or down this vest will be a staple in your wardrobe.
Modeled here by Miss SKK, the vest is worn with 1" negative ease. For those who prefer a less fitted look, the vest will work equally well with a bit of positive ease.
The pattern is available below and on Ravelry. If you are a Ravelry member please join us for the Wood Hollow Vest KAL in the Through the Loops group.
