Knit from the top down with optional waist and hip shaping, the Village Vest is meant to be worn as either a standalone top or as an additional warm layer! **Needles & Notions:** • Size US 7 / 4.5 mm circular needles (for the body) • Optional: Size US 7 / 4.5 mm DPNs (for the i-cord ties) • Stitch holders or scrap yarn • Stitch markers (6 regular markers & 2 removable markers) • Tapestry needle **Sizing:** XS(S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) Finished Garment Circumference: 27.5(31.5, 35.5, 39.5, 43.5) (47.5, 51.5, 55.5, 59.5)” 70(80, 90, 100.5, 110.5) (120.5, 131, 141, 151) cm *This garment is meant to be worn with 0-3.5” / 0-9 cm of negative ease at the full bust. To choose a size, take the measurement of your chest at the fullest point, subtract 0-3.5” / 0-9 cm and choose the closest size. Please note the finished garment circumference does not account for the extra 1-2”/ 2.5-5 cm the ribbed border and tie will afford you, but the ease recommendation does. I am pictured wearing the garment with 3.5” / 9 cm of negative ease. If you want more coverage for your vest or a less form fitting look, choose a size with up to 4” / 10 cm of positive ease.* **Gauge:** 20 stitches and 28 rows over 4” / 10 cm on US 7 / 4.5 mm needles, in flat stockinette stitch, blocked. **Yarn:** Worsted weight yarn *My sample uses The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Pishkun yarn, a 100% rambouillet wool yarn, in the color The Lazy Moose.* **Yardage:** 625(720, 810, 900, 990) (1025, 1110, 1195, 1280) yards 570(660, 740, 825, 905) (935, 1015, 1095, 1170) meters #VillagerVest #sizeinclusive [1]: https://www.parknknit.com/newsletter
