Market Vest Duet
Two super quick-knit vests that will rock your world are included in this pattern set. Layer them over a blouse or dress for an easy put-together look with minimal styling effort! With 14 sizes included, one will be perfect for you. Waist shaping is the finishing touch that makes this project so flattering. You’ll love having both tops in your closet. Both vests are worked seamlessly from the top down. Want a longer one? Just mirror the waist shaping and keep on knitting. Instructions are included for optional Tubular Bind-off.

About the Colorblock Market Vest: This zig-zagging colorblocking is so fun to knit and looks fab, too. You’ll work intarsia in-the-round (instructions provided) to achieve a seamless finish.
