The new Trotter vest is the perfect staple to your Fall/Winter wardrobe.
It is very versatile to be worn over jeans and a tee, or a skirt and a blouse, even a dress. It will keep you comfortable this season as it has a bit of heft to it.
The Allero yarn is held with triple strands throughout creating a very clean and sharp look as shown in this sample.
There is another option to knit your vest in. With 4 of our Bulk cakes, see the link at the bottom of this page.
One size: 20" long, 44" in width plus a 4" front opening, 7" shoulder seam, armhole opening 21".
The pattern is fully written and offers a photo tutorial for the crochet finish option as shown in my sample.
