Cherry Rumble Vest

If you like this motif but want to try it on a smaller project, check out the [Cherry Rumble Hat][1] or [Cowl][2], which are also 20% of with the code RUMBLESET. The Cherry Rumble Vest features a bold, elegant hem that I just love. It's another of those motifs that I couldn't stop playing with, featuring simple twists, a few fun cables, ribbing and a touch of lace. Once the hem is complete, the simple vest knits up in no time. And once knit, this vest goes with almost anything. You can see I've worked up a few versions - and I also previously designed a Cherry Rumble Hat and Cowl. (I really do love working this pattern.) Knit up in beautiful Heritage DK from North Bay Fiber, the motif is crisp and striking and finishes off a simple vest perfectly. I paired it with a short length, a classic crew neck and delicate, narrow ribbing at armhole and collar. On my first version, I knit the body of the vest in stockinette to keep the focus on the lace - but then I thought I'd like to see it paired with some simple texture. You can see the simple texture beautifully in my two-color sample, and I LOVE how it looks in classic cream on Jill's sample. The pattern includes notes for either stockinette or texture on your vest, as well as instructions for working it in one or two colors. It also has modifications for body circumference or length, as well as altering shoulder width, neckline, or armholes to suit your own tastes. The lace instructions are both charted and written. Cherry Rumble is worked from the bottom up in the round, then split into two pieces at armhole. These pieces are worked flat to shoulder and seamed, and then ribbing is picked up along openings and worked in round to end. **Sizes** 36(40,44,48,52)(56,60,64,68)” 91.5(101.5,111.75,122,132)(142.25,152.5,162.5,172.75)cm Sizes reflect circumference around bust and are based on finished, blocked fabric.
