Vista Vest

Inspiration for this vest came from Scandinavian and Baltic pattern books. Linda like the motifs and often combines them with Fair Isle. The starry design along the bottom is a meeting of Shetland and Norwegian style. She named it ‘vista’ for the beautiful view she can see from her window whilst she knits. Linda has designed this in two stunning colourways: beautiful earthy shades of sand, chestnut and marjoram and another in blues with the striking addition of madder. This would make a great layering piece and instructions are included on how to adjust the length up to the underarm.
