Golden Field Vest

**To celebrate the release of Golden Field Vest, the pattern will be available at 20% off through Sunday, July 26th. No coupon code is needed—the discount will be applied automatically.** Golden Field Vest is a textured vest designed for everyday wear. Knit seamlessly from the top down, it features an easy-to-memorize basketweave stitch pattern that creates a rich fabric while remaining relaxing to knit. The clean silhouette makes it equally at home worn on its own or layered over a favorite shirt or dress. The textured fabric adds interest without overwhelming the garment. The pattern includes 10 sizes and is designed to be worn with approximately 0" of ease, although anywhere from 2" (5 cm) of negative or positive ease works beautifully. Examples of knitted projects can be found on Instagram under the hashtag #goldenfieldvest.
