Irida Vest

A modern play of texture and color, the **Irida Vest** is designed for easy styling and joyful knitting. A graphic 3-color motif creates a rhythmic fabric that works beautifully in both high-contrast and tonal color palettes. The sharp V-neck is framed with clean twisted-rib edges and a centered stitch for a polished finish. At the back, subtle slanted shoulder lines shape the upper body and flow into a smooth applied i-cord. Choose a relaxed, boxy fit or style it more tailored! Either way, it’s an easy layer you’ll reach for again and again. > **Happy News!** > > 1. Enjoy a -15% until December 29th 2025. > > 2. Purchase 2 or more patterns and get a > -20% off. > > 3.
