I love spending time in libraries, be it studying at graduate school, working, or simply enjoying them throughout my life. Inspired by long nights in the library, the Conservator Vest is an Aran weight, 2x2 ribbed vest knitted bottom-up, in the round. Tapered from the waist to the bust with branching increases at the underarm, it is the perfect layering piece to add to your wardrobe.
