This classic cardigan vest has grandpa-sweater styling and feminine shaping, making an ideal outer-layer for fall and winter. Designed for plus-size women, the pattern includes five sizes from 43” to 66” bust circumference, to be worn with positive ease, and the hip circumference is larger than the bust in all sizes, accommodating pear shapes with flattering tailoring. On size 10 needles, the knitting is quick, the stitches are fun, and in the end you have a versatile wardrobe piece that you’ll reach for again and again. The pattern is rated Experienced in difficulty because there is a lot going on at the same time, between shaping and patterning, but once you get the gist of it, the knitting is not difficult.
