The Harbour Vest is a comfy slipover worked top-down; the yoke is worked flat and joined in the round for the body. There are two hem options: split or regular – the choice is yours!

Inspired by the East Neuk of Fife, a collection of rural Scottish coastal villages, decorated with fishing equipment; from weathered ropes to mismatched piles of tattered lobster pots. A coastal line filled with texture.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited, and test knit by a group of very talented test knitter (a massive thank you to you all!).
