Gauge: 24 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm at needle 4 mm, following Chart 1 (after washing).
Needle size(s): 3 different needle sizes are used, whilst knitting the vest.

  • Circular needle 3 mm (the length 60 cm is recommended).
  • Circular needle 3,5 mm (the lengths 40 and 60 cm are recommended).
  • Circular needle 4 mm (the lengths 60 and 80 cm are recommended). Yarn: The vest is knitted with 2 threads held together. - 1st thread: “Regina”, Lang Yarns (175 m per 50g). - 2nd thread: “Lace”, Lang Yarns (310 m per 25g). Amount: - 1st thread: 175 (200) 250 (300) 350 (400) 450 (500)g. - 2nd thread: 75 (75) 75 (100) 100 (125) 125 (150)g. Other: 4 mm cable needle, and thin elastic thread for the I-cord edge of the armhole. Method: The vest is knitted bottom-up, first in the round, and then back and forth whilst making the front- and back piece of the yoke. Throughout the whole work, the vest is knitted following a series of charts, to create its laced and cabled structure. The upper part of the yoke, as well as the high neckline, is knitted in rib, and to shape the shoulders, the method German Short Rows is used. To finish the vest, an I-cord edge is knitted onto each of the armholes.
