Parquet Vest

The vest is worked from the top down, starting with the back piece. After completing the armhole increases the back piece is placed on hold. Each front shoulder piece is picked up and worked separately, making increases for the neck line before joining them both together to complete the neck hole. The front piece is continued with increases for the armholes, before joining with the back piece and working the rest of the body in the round. Throughout the garment you will be working a decorative dip stitch which is worked by pulling loops of yarn from the back of the work and slipping/knitting these loops. To finish, stitches are picked up at the armholes and neck and a folded rib edging is worked. **Recommended Yarn / Yardage (with 10% buffer added)** **MC:** QF Teddy - (100% Merino Boucle 220m / 240 yrd - 100g skein) (2) 3 (3) 3 (3) 3 (3) 3 (3) skeins or 470 (490) 500 (510) 540 (560) 590 (590) 600m / (512) 536 (547) 557 (591) 612 (645) 645 (656) yards **Held together with...** Qing Fibre Dashing Fingering (100% Ultrafine South African Merino, 400m / 437 yds - 100g skein) (2) 2 (2) 2 (2) 2 (2) 2 (3) skeins or (570) 630 (660) 690 (760) 800 (870) 880 (910)m / (620) 680 (720) 750 (830) 870 (950) 960 (1000) yards **CC:** Qing Fibre Chunky (100% Superwash Merino, 80m / 87 yards - 100g skein) (2) 2 (2) 2 (2) 2 (2) 3 (3) skeins or (110) 120 (130) 140 (150) 160 (160) 160 (170)m / (120) 130 (140) 150 (160) 170 (180) 180 (190) yards **To Fit Bust** 69-78 (79-88) 89-96 (101-106) 111-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) 152-158 cm 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54 (56-58) 60-62 inches
