Trym Vest

This classic vest has a split hem, hanging slightly longer in the back than at the front, and elegant lines of broken rib that continue up the side of the body. Knitted seamlessly from the bottom up, this pattern comes with lots of options for making it your own, including a V-neck or scoop neck version. Please note that this vest is designed for wearing with a shirt or blouse underneath. If you wish to wear it as a top you may like to decrease the depth of the armholes, by working fewer rows before beginning the neck shaping. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Body Circumference: 84 (94, 101.5, 109, 117, 124.5, 132, 139.5) cm/33 (37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55) inches Body Length to underarm: 30 cm/12 inches at front, 33 cm/13 inches at back (adjustable) Armhole depth: 18 (19, 19.5, 20.5, 21, 21.5, 22.5, 23) cm/7 (7.5, 7.75, 8, 8.25, 8.5, 8.75, 9) inches Further measurements are shown on Schematic Designed to be worn with 0 - 3 inches of positive ease based on high bust measurement Model measures 88cm/35 inches at full bust, and is wearing the 84 cm/33 inch size **YARN** Blacker Yarns Lyonesse, DK (50% Falkland Islands Wool, 50% Linen, 110 m/119 yd per 50g ball) Shown in: Hematite; 5 (5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7) balls **DIFFICULTY** 2 out of 5 Techniques include: knitting in the round, decreasing, short row shaping, picking up stitches, 3-Needle Bind Off **NEEDLES AND NOTIONS** 4mm (US 6, UK 8) 60 cm/24 inch or 80 cm/32 inch circular knitting needle for the body 4mm (US 6, UK 8) 40 cm/16 inch circular knitting needle for working the neckband and armhole ribbing Darning needle 6 stitch markers, including two unique: one to mark beginning of round and one to mark other side Stitch holder or length of smooth scrap yarn **GAUGE / TENSION** 20 sts and 24 rows to 10 cm/4 inches measured over Stocking Stitch in DK Always use a needle size which results in the correct gauge after blocking This pattern is also available in 3-ply and 4-ply from the [Blacker Yarns website][1] [1]: https://www.blackeryarns.co.uk/patterns/
