Amanda

Amanda is a classic vest with practical pockets and a polished finish down to the last detail. Perfect for layering over a sweater or shirt, it’s a versatile piece for any closet. Two yarns — a fingering-weight wool and a lace-weight silk mohair — held together create a rich, textured fabric. SIZES 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8) Recommended ease: 4.25" / 11 cm of positive ease.
