Zack Sideways Vest PATTERN (Downloadable)
Regular price $ 15.00FREE UNIQUE ROW CHECKER
How about turning your knitting on its side? Our new Zack vest pattern is knit sideways. This elegant design is knit in one piece with small seams at the shoulders. While it is sophisticated it is also easier than it looks. This unique pattern double strands Zauberball Crazy lace weight variegated yarn to create a beautiful blending of color. And Trekking Sport in a solid color joins in to create a vest so classy you’ll never want to cover it with a sport coat. Since both yarns are a matching blend of superwash wool and nylon you’ll have a timeless creation with lasting durability.
Pattern and Row Checker
This pattern includes a list of all abbreviations, glossary of terms, and a crisp schematic with dimensions for proper blocking. It also comes with my unique Row Checker, complimentary. A tool you can use to help keep track of your stitch count, row number, increases, and decreases. Throughout the pattern you'll find indicators of when to refer to your Row Checker.
