Siúla Vest

............................. Siúla Vest ............................. Whether you enjoy strolling, rambling, striding, wandering, or rolling, the Siúla Vest will gladly be your companion. Derived from the Irish *siúl*, this gilet-style body warmer 
 is designed with motion in mind. 

 The top-down raglan construction hugs the shoulders with anatomical precision; then
 sculpts itself, as if by magic, into perfectly rounded armholes. The textured bodice is 
 finished with finely ribbed edgings and sturdy front closures, providing a cozy cocooning effect without adding bulk or impeding movement.
 
 An utterly capable garment, Siúla makes for an ideal everyday layering piece - no matter where your typical day might take you. Note there are currently two versions of this pattern: Aran-weight, and chunky weight. An additional, light-chunky version will be added shortly. All versions of the Siúla vest offer multiple options for Collar and edgings. ............................. MATERIALS & INFO
