Introducing a pullover vest with flattering lines, available in sizes 2T – Women’s XXL.

Designed using the luxurious Road to China by The Fibre Company, this vest makes a stunning statement, especially in a color like Garnet!  Want to whip a vest up for summer?  The 18 x 24 gauge allows for a variety of yarns to be used.  How about Rowan Handknit Cotton?

Come fall, treat yourself to a luxury yarn like Road to China.  I can also suggest a few yarns most of us probably have in our stash, Cascade 220 or Berocco Ultra Alpaca.  Whatever your yarn of choice, this vest is a fast knit and good addition to any wardrobe…even a child’s!  I will have a sample to show off soon in 2T…
