Yarn Kit – Tessellated Vest by Andrea Mowry
Yarn Kit – Tessellated Vest by Andrea Mowry
Andrea's very first vest design – an easy to wear still stunning – made in the same highly addictive stitch pattern as its sister pullover, which will make this project fly off your needles. The simple mosaic stitch is what creates this wonderful texture, depending on your choice of high contrasting or low contrasting colours you can completely change the look of the design. This comfy vest is the perfect way to showcase this beautiful stitch in the colour combos of your dreams! Perfect for layering, this vest is your new favourite wardrobe staple piece!
The Tessellated Vest is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round until the divide for the yoke. The remainder is worked flat, and the shoulders are finished using the 3 needle bind off. Andrea chose 3 different yarns to use in the colourwork! A solid for the main colour (A) and then one colour shifting yarn (B) and one fuzzy yarn (C) for the contrasting colours, to create a truly unique and engaging fabric.
We are drooling over the potential possibilities in combining the gorgeous Merino d'Arles Mokosh from Hey Mama Wolf (Yarn A), the magical hand-dyed marl, entirely unique to RiverKnits, Chimera (Yarn B) and the glorious, voluptuous Fyberspates Cumulus as our fuzzy fix (Yarn C).
Do check out our blog post, we gathered our favourite combos for you to choose from, your dream project included for sure!
