The Patch Me If You Can Vest is a beginner friendly project, knitted mostly flat in panels using stockinette stitch which are then seamed together. This pattern contains unique design details including a folded cast off for the neck and sleeve trims. You can experiment with using as few or as many colours as you’d like!

You must be comfortable with knitting, purling, casting on and casting off before attempting this pattern. Youtube tutorials for all other techniques are included in the pattern.

The pattern is size inclusive, and has been written for and tested in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL) (XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL).

You will need 300g-850g of DK yarn (100g-300g of each colour, if using 3 colours). This project is knitted using two strands of yarn held together.

You will need both 6mm (60cm cable or longer) circular knitting needles, and 7mm knitting needles (straight or circular). The majority of this piece is knit flat, so you can use circulars or straight 7mm needles, whatever you prefer! You will also need some stitch markers.
