by Julie Carles & Jordana Jacobs
Directions for this project inThe Yarn Girls' Guide to Knits for All Seasons, shown below. Have fun with the unusual stripes on this otherwise simple vest. Ribbing around the neck, armholes and hem give structure and support. An easy introduction to color work. Shown in Wool of the Andes Spruce (C1), Avocado (C2), Daffodil (C3) and Chestnut (C4).
