Riverstone Vest
)
)
Born of rock and moss, twig and leaf, the inspiration behind this vest is organic and elemental. The stones around my house, heaved up by glaciers in primordial times and texturized by nature over the eons, influenced the hues blended together in this tunic-length vest. When I wear it, I imagine I've donned a sheath of lichen like some (large) forest nymph.
Knit from carry-along yarns -- those skinny, nebulous yarns like ladders or railroads designed to be held together with sturdier fare -- and size 9mm/US13 needles, this will knit up quickly yet remain whisper-light despite the length. I used primarily Habu yarns but any light-weight yarn will do.
Wear it belted or loose. Knit it long as in the original or make a shorter version. Eliminate the gently rounded shirt-like tails or experiment by making one in lace-weight linen or some textured filament yarn. As a free-range knitting pattern, this design just begs to be tried in different ways.

Come Spring Vest
)
)
Spring opens up with a flourish of joyful greenery. Celebrate with this little vest worked side to side in a mix of lace ribbing and seed stitch featuring alternating colors of green braced by brown worked on size 5mm/8US needles. The bottom edging is picked up and knit afterwards in a leaf stem lace pattern. It’s an easy wear suitable for dressing up or down and those roomy armholes and absence of buttons offer an added dash of chic comfort. The back features a center panel in seed stitch worked in a glorious hand-dyed ribbon.
The vest can be knit in two ways: modular style by knitting lacey strips singularly or in groupings sewn together or, for those deep into sewing avoidance, by knitting side-to-side in either one or three pieces: back and two fronts.

Sunset Bolero Vest
Versatile, flattering and
cross-seasonal, this little vest will take you countless places in comfort
and style. Wear it over a shirt with jeans for a casual look, over a
tank for summer, or with a blouse or turtleneck for fall into winter.
Designed to be worn open, it can be knit to hit just above the waist
or slightly below and features a chic bolero’s pointed back, which
can be eliminated, if desired. The edges are trimmed with a band of thin
tape yarn that creates the look of piping when the vest is sewn together.
A light pressing alone creates the open v-neck effect.
Choose from a selection of tapes, ribbons, silks or cottons plus a few
'special effect' yarns or head for your stash for the necessary elements
to knit up this little garment.
