VESTS FROM A TURKISH BAZAAR

How about a bolero-style vest with a lacy panel back that waves and curves like the Cappadocian landscape knit in variegated wool and silk with ribboned streams, the vest is knit bottom to top in the back and side to side for the fronts. Easy to knit and easy to wear.

Or, maybe you'd prefer the warm autumn colors of the Arasta Vest, knit in three easy lace panels bordered by yarn-over-knit-2-togethers and garter? Use that stash yarn of yours or consider one of my kits. Either way, you'll knit a winner.

Or maybe you love the light and lacy Topaki vest which emulates the famed pottery tiles of the Ottaman empire? The vest is knit in a lacy eyelet pattern that's framed by a multi-textured yoke and fastened by three buttons.

All three designs are featured in the E-book VESTS FROM A TURKISH BAZAAR available now here: http://www.janethornley.com/blog/index.php/knitting/patterns_vests/
