Dopa Vest

ABOUT THE PATTERN
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate 

Unisex vest with a classic fit and embroidery.

The Dopa Vest is a collaboration between Frejasknit and Dopaminklubben. The embroidery on the front is based on a drawing by Anders Morgenthaler.

You can choose between the texts “I’ll do it tomorrow” and “Do anything for dopamine”. 

The vest is unisex and can therefore be worn by women, men, and everyone in between.

It is knitted in four parts: one front piece, two side pieces, and one back piece. All parts are knitted bottom-up. The front piece is knitted on 5mm needles, while the back and side pieces are knitted on 7mm needles.
The front and back pieces are knitted back and forth in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side).
The side panels are knitted in half brioche stitch.
The parts are sewn together when finished.
The vest is finished with ribbed edges along the armholes and the front opening. The ribbing is knitted on 5mm needles. More stitches are cast on when picking up stitches for the ribbing.
