A simple V-neck vest with a twist!

The fun pop colors of Daruma ‘Superwash Spanish Merino’ inspired me to design this vest.

Dotted lines are worked with very simple slip sts, brought to life with fun contrasting colors.

I’ve gone with a bright neon peach & mint here but the possibilities are endless! A neutral base with gray mohair, royal blue, etc… a perfect fit with a casual pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt.

Please check version B, Spanish merino (Ecru) x Wool Mohair (Beige) here.

NEW “Dotted Plus” -14 sts / 21 rows, Gender neutral!
