Cassis

This pattern can be found in issue 13 of [Laine Magazine][1]. *Cassis* is a vest inspired by the traditional gansey sweaters of fishermen. It works both with a smaller ease and with an oversized fit, and the gansey pattern is very simple and easy to knit. The vest is worked from the top down: first flat, and after joining the front and the back, the rest of the body is worked in the round. You can choose the length of the neck ribbing from two options: crewneck or turtleneck. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7, 8) (9, 10, 11, 12) Recommended ease: 2.25–17.75” / 6–45 cm of positive ease. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Body circumference: 34.75 (36.75, 40, 43) (46.75, 49.75, 54.25, 58.25) (62.5, 66.75, 71.5, 77.75)” / 88 (93.5, 101.5, 109.5) (118.5, 126.5, 137.5, 148) (158.5, 169.5, 181.5, 197.5) cm.
