About the Pattern
The Delvin Vest is a modular, no-purl knitting pattern designed for ease and versatility. Knit flat from the bottom up, it features garter stitch and a dramatic yet easy lace stitch, perfect for knitters who want texture without complexity.
Use it as a vest, or add the free sleeves and hood patterns (available on my blog) to create a full sweater. For convenience, all three parts are also available in a single eBook.
Note, the hood and the sleeves are shown in 2 of the photos. They are included in the ebook, but are seperate blog posts, as the full project is too long for a single post.
