Floral Vest Knitting Pattern (AP3310)

A beautifully textured sleeveless vest featuring an elegant floral lace pattern with delicate bobble details. The relaxed silhouette and neat ribbed trims create a versatile layering piece that works effortlessly over shirts, dresses, or lightweight tops throughout the seasons.

Knitted flat in separate front and back pieces, the vest is worked from the lower edge upwards before being seamed at the shoulders and sides. The lace pattern adds lovely texture while the ribbed neckline and armbands provide a polished finish.

Photographed in Alpaca Yarns Halo, a luxuriously soft 100% baby brushed alpaca yarn that creates a light, airy fabric with a beautiful halo.
