I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t love the styling on this piece. The front pieces of the sample are 20″ wide…for a 32″ sample, it’s supposed to drape in the front. I would guess this model is wearing it with at least 4-6″ of negative ease.  It fits her like it fit me, and I was a 38″ bust.

See how the side seam is not on the side, but on the back? Yeah, definitely too small for her.

This “vest” is knit with just one skein (for most sizes) of Suri Elegance by The Alpaca Yarn Company. Suri Elegance is a delicious suri alpaca lace weight yarn.

The back is knit from the bottom up, but the fronts are knitted side to side. This makes the pattern fun to knit despite it being stockinette.

Here are the details:

FINISHED SIZE 32 (36, 40, 44, 48)” bust circumference. Vest shown measures 32”.
YARN The Alpaca Yarn Company Suri Elegance (100% suri alpaca; 875 yd 800 m/3 1/2 oz 100 g): #1301 silver, 1 (1, 1, 2, 2) skein(s).
NEEDLES Size 4 (3.5 mm). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
NOTIONS Stitch holder; tapestry needle.
GAUGE 20 sts and 36 rows = 4” in St st.
