#85 Wavy Textured Hooded Vest PDF Knitting Pattern

A cozy vest is the perfect layering piece when a bulky jacket or sweater is just too much. This one features an intricate looking textured stitch that resembles a complicated cable panel, but is done entirely without cable needles. Shaping throughout is done within the reverse stockinette stitch background panels.

The vest is also knit from the bottom up in one piece for minimal seaming. Pockets are knit in, as are the slight cap sleeves. The hood is picked up separately. Ribbed button bands and 2 gorgeous toggle buttons finish the elegantly casual look.

The yarn used is Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky, which comes in 79 gorgeous colors (at last count!).

Finished Size(s): Written for sizes S (M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X) or Bust Sizes 32-34 (36-38, 40-42, 44-46, 48-50, 52-54)" [81.5-86.5 (91.5-96.5, 101.5-106.5, 112-117, 122-127, 132-137) cm]. Finished Knit Chest Size:
