Want to knit something chic and cozy for layering? You have to try this free sweater vest pattern! This cropped vest is a quick and fun project for knitters of all levels. It’s perfect for layering over your favorite shirts and dresses. You can grab the free PDF pattern on the Ashley Lillis blog and follow along with her detailed video tutorial.
The vest is knit in the round from the bottom up, so there’s no seaming! Once you get to the armholes, you’ll divide your work for the front and back. The ribbing for the collar and armholes is also knit in the round, giving it a beautiful, seamless finish. The pattern comes in eight adult sizes and is a great learning project for beginners. You’ll need 8mm and 9mm circular needles and about two skeins of bulky weight yarn. This vest could be the next great gift you make, or a personal treat just for yourself!
