A really useful, modern gilet.
Worked in a 4 row twisted rib pattern and with borders in single rib.
The neat collar is worked in garter stitch to give added texture to this handsome design.
The wonderful tweed aran weight yarn for this design comes from Shetland and is spun in Yorkshire.
Although designed for men, this gilet can also work for women - just reverse the stitched on button & buttonhole borders.
