Your Fabulous Resources slip-over / tank / vest pattern

It’s a fabulous thing to give life to fabric, to make something move well, the harmony of colour.

--Hubert de Givenchy

Your Fabulous Resources is a pattern for a Fair-Isle style slip-over/tank/vest. It is worked in the round and from the bottom up. The neck and armscyes are worked with steeks and finished with ribbed edges.

This pattern was designed to use up your stash with any colours you like. I have included the values of each colour - light, med, or dark for each colour to help choose from your stash. Please have fun and experiment with your fabulous colours!

Familiarity working with charts and extending patterns is helpful with this pattern. Included are main motif charts (colour & symbols), plus yoke shaping guide charts.
