Cheonghwa Baekja Vest

**Cheongwha baekja** is a type of porcelain that has been created since the days of the Joseon dynasty. Its serene white surface becomes a canvas for cobalt-blue brushwork, expressing philosophy, refined restraint, and artistic nuance through intricate designs. Traditionally, Korean decorative patterns carried more than visual appeal, conveying symbols, aspirations, and heartfelt wishes of their creators. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of cheonghwa bakja and its dazzling peony designs, I’ve incorporated that spirit into this vest. The peony motif is both ornate and meaningful, representing harmony, wealth, and prosperity. Enjoy the beauty of these blossoms as you knit this vest. **Skill level:** Intermediate Recommended for knitters experienced with stranded colorwork and finishing more than one (top-down) garment. The design includes two color colorwork. In order to manage the strands, two-handed knitting is suggested. **Sizes available :** S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL (6 sizes) **Measurements (cm)** •Bust : 92 (105) 118 (131) 144 (3XL) •Length : 53 (54) 54 (54) 54.5 (54.5) **Yarn Amount** •gram : 194 (202) 236 (272) 308 (345) •Meter : 989 (1030) 1205 (1385) 1569 (1758) **Materials:** •Yarn ( for the sample shown in size M ) Isager Yarn Tvinni ( light fingering ) 50 g 255 m M size : 202g 1030m MC ( 6S beige ) : 80 g 408 m CC ( 26S blue ) : 122 g 622 m **Needle size :** 3.5 mm You can change needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge. **Gauge:** Pattern gauge: 13.5 x 16.5 cm = 38 stitches and 58 rows (10 x 10 cm = 29 stitches and 35 rows) (Washing and blocking are recommended before measuring) **Video tutorial:** •[folded bind-off (폴디드 바인드 오프 - 웰트 스티치)][21] [21]: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gBLlLUYB9Sw
