Sugar Sweet Woven Vest

This pattern is worked in pieces, one front and one back, from the bottom up. You begin with a hemmed edge then continue in “woven knitting”. The neckband and armhole edges are added later. It is written with more visual (complete charts) than written instruction. The pattern uses stranded and intarsia techniques. The pieces are sewn together and a neckband and armhole ribbings are added.

You might prefer to use only 2 colors or make it with 20. Color-in pages are part of the pattern so that you can create your own color combo. You will need to use bobbins or wind butterflies of the vertical warp threads. How-to photos are shown for making the stitch gauge sample. This will help you understand the "woven" process.
