Lacy Kimono Style Vest 312

Hand Knitting Pattern: Cardigan-vest, poncho

Yarn weight: Light Fingering / sock yarn

Suggested yarn: Noro Kureyon Sock クレヨンソックヤーン

This is fantastic in Noro! I’ve also seen it in self striping sock yarn! It only needs 2 skeins of Kureyon sock.

A great “cover up” for any season. The lace pattern is somewhat original, and designed to look like crochet. This is simple to produce, with easy construction. Fits MANY sizes and shapes. My model is extra-small, I am medium/large, and my large/X-large friends have tried it on with great success.

Rated: intermediate

One size, to fit XS - XL
