Wase Vest
The Wase Vest is inspired by flowy fabrics found at outdoor summer festivals. It is a lightweight and versatile piece that could be worn many ways while enjoying the summer sun. The name Wase is a play on the word “ways”, but also means “a wisp or bundle of hay or straw”. Though it is called a vest, Wase can be worn in many ways - scarf, vest, shawl, or wrap! When worn as a garment, the sides of the vest are left to drape downward and sway in the wind, or they can be pinned up in front like a shawl for added coverage. The piece could be worn as a traditional scarf around the neck, one end pulled through an armhole, or draped over the shoulders like a shawl. The shape of the vest is unique, but easy to make and wear.
This garment is knit flat from one side to the other lengthwise. It features a lace pattern mixed with dropped stitches and garter borders. This stitch pattern is repeated throughout the entire piece. Two armholes are made with simple bind-off and cast-on methods. The shoulders are shaped with a few extra repeats of the stitch pattern for a good fit.
This design is part of The Sun and Fog Summer 2021 collection.
