Keiko’s V-neck vest design takes its inspiration from the majestic Mount Fuji, Japan’s loftiest summit. Knit by combining four strands of lace-weight Piper, the vest is worked from the bottom up, producing an enchanting ombre effect that evolves as it takes shape. Just as Mount Fuji’s iconic cone often embraces mist and enigma, the vest’s dramatic collar adds a touch of intrigue, mirroring the mountain’s symmetrical form and its air of mystique.
