Frida Vest

Frida Vest is worked from the top down. First, the back is worked back and forth with increases for the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the right and left front, which are worked separately and joined after shaping the neckline. The front and back are then joined, and the body is worked in the round, finished with a 3 x 3 rib edge. Finally, stitches are picked up along the armholes and neckline, where rib edges and an optional turtleneck are worked. **SIZES** 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7 **BUST CIRCUMFERENCE** 94 (102) 110 (117) 125 (133) 141 cm / 37 (40.2) 43.3 (46.1) 49.2 (52.4) 55.5 in **LENGTH** 50 (53) 56 (56) 59 (59) 62 cm / 19.7 (20.9) 22 (22) 23.2 (23.2) 24.4 in **GAUGE** 23 stitches x 34 rows on 4 mm / US 6 needles = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in **RECOMMENDED NEEDLES** Circular needles 4 mm / US 6 (60 & 80-100 cm / 24 & 32-40 in) and 3 mm / US 2.5 (40 & 80-100 cm / 16 & 32-40 in) and a cable needle. **MATERIALS** MELANGE BASE Fine Andean Wool from Kaos Yarn (50 g - 225 m / 246 yds) or Önling No 4 (50 g - 200 m / 219 yds) **Colour A1:** 200 (250) 250 (250) 250 (250) 300 gram **Colour A2:** 200 (250) 250 (250) 250 (250) 300 gram *Colour A1 and A2 are always held together.* SOLID BASE Fine Andean Wool from Kaos Yarn (50 g - 225 m / 246 yds) or Önling No 4 (50 g - 200 m / 219 yds) **Colour A1:** 200 (250) 250 (250) 250 (250) 300 gram *held together with* Halo Brushed Alpaca from Kaos Yarn (25 g - 225 m / 246 yds) or Önling No 10 (25 g - 210 m / 230 yds) **Colour A2:** 100 (125) 125 (125) 125 (125) 150 gram STRIPES Chunky Andean Wool from Kaos Yarn (50 g - 100 m / 109 yds) or Önling No 3 (50 g - 133 m / 145 yds) **Colour B (stripes):** 50 gram **SIZE GUIDE** Frida Vest is designed with a positive ease of 8 cm / 3.2 in. This means that the bust circumference of the vest should be 8 cm / 3.2 in bigger than your actual bust measurements. The sizes correspond to S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL, but I always recommend measuring yourself to find the right size according to the intended ease.
