The Grace Vest is a perfect canvas for showing off your favourite 8 ply yarn. With a simple bottom-up construction with neckband and armholes knitted up at the end, it's a great introduction to knitting garments. The flattering v-neck design is fantastic for wearing over a collared shirt, or knit a size up for an oversized slipover that will keep you cosy.

Knit in pieces from the bottom up, then joined to knit neck and armbands. Primarily in stocking stitch, with rib at band and cuff.

Tension
