Vrida Vest Knitting Pattern
6,05€
The Vrida Vest is a top-down seamless vest with clean and neat rib look.
Description
Vrida in Swedish means twist, and the vest is knitted in half twisted rib which gives it a clean and neat rib look. It is oversized, versatile, and can be used both as a tee, or with layering, as a vest.
The Vrida Vest is knitted top down, first flat and then joined at the underarm at the body and knitted in the round. This makes it easy to adjust to your desired length. Both neckline and armhole hems are folded. The German Short Rows shape the armhole hem to make it wider at the shoulders.
