This beautiful gilet, crafted in a luxurious chenille yarn, will keep you cosy and stylish throughout the autumn and winter months. The lower section features wide ribbing worked up to the bust, where it transitions seamlessly into an striking cable pattern for the upper body. This change in patterning gently shapes the garment for a flattering fit. The front and armhole borders are knitted as part of the main piece, minimising sewing up. The design is worked from the bottom up and includes full written instructions.
