ABOUT THE PROJECT
Inspired by the timeless grandpa look, this versatile unisex vest is perfect for both men, women and everyone in between.
It is knitted in five parts on needle 7 | US 10,75. The rib edges are knitted on needle 4 | US 6. Or the needle size you need to hit the gauge.
Details like side panels in pearl rib and pockets on the front give it a unique look. The vest is open at the front with deep armholes and can be styled with hooks or a brooch.
