Harbour Vest

The Harbour Vest is a comfy slipover worked top-down; the yoke is worked flat and joined in the round for the body. There are two hem options: split or regular – the choice is yours! Inspired by the East Neuk of Fife, a collection of rural Scottish coastal villages, decorated with fishing equipment; from weathered ropes to mismatched piles of tattered lobster pots. A coastal line filled with texture. This pattern has been professionally tech edited, and test knit by a group of very talented test knitter (a massive thank you to you all!). Please note that this pattern consists of one pdf file, totalling 27 pages. The file is formatted for A4 paper. This pattern includes written instructions, an illustration, and charts.
