Chore

Description

The CHORE VEST is the knitting pattern your pocket-seeking hands have been dreaming of. This vest combines timeless simplicity with structure and wearability for a layering piece that is as practical as it is pretty. The folded hem, button band, and armholes provide stability for the yarn-ball-sized pockets, while bust darts, hip shaping, and side seam slits allow for comfortable movement without gaping buttons anywhere. Stand, sit, crouch, garden, knit, hike, lounge — this vest is designed for you to do things in!
