With the same fun dotted details as the “Dotted” vest, this “Dotted Plus” now comes with a bigger gauge and more relaxed fit.
Gender neutral and designed for everyone, this vest works well with T-shirts, with relaxed arm holes and a modest V-neck.

The both samples are knitted with Daruma “GENMOU” doubled throughout. I highly recommend this yarn - it is so soft and light that even with a bigger 14 sts gauge the L size (Green) is less than 400g! The airyness of the yarn is also very warm, and it comes in many beautiful colors.

The vest’s subtle design details are complimented well with just a solid color, or you can really have some fun with different color combinations: Orange x Grey, Yellow x Green….the possibilities are endless!

Please check here for Beige x Orange version’s details.
