Yarn Kit – Flynn by Julie Weisenberger
Looking for an alternative to the typical - plastic - poly-fleece vest? We’ve got you covered!
Flynn is a comfy, versatile vest pattern that allows you to knit your own natural fibre fleecy vest. The cozy, angled pockets warm your hands, while the zipper and folded stand-up collar make it an easy-to-wear wardrobe classic.
This pattern uses a modified Cocoknits Method, incorporating the collar into the upper back at the start and using short row shaping to create a diagonal pocket opening. Sew in a zipper at the end, or leave it as an open vest. If you’ve never sewn in a zipper before, now is your chance to build your skills with help from the tutorial on the Cocoknits website.
The ultimate cozy vest for layering under a jacket or over a long sleeve tee – it’s a warm hug on a chilly day.
This vest is worked using the Cocoknits Method, a commonsense system for knitting seamless, tailored sweaters from the top down. The Cocoknits Method is explained in detail in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop by Julie Weisenberger and in tutorials on cocoknits.com.
All of the page numbers in this pattern refer to pages in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop, where the techniques are explained in detail. The pattern also provides links to the video tutorials.
Pickles Teddy is the perfect yarn for this project. Bouclé yarns are traditionally made in combination with a synthetic fibre, the binder thread that keeps that crimp in place. Here at Knit with attitude we are incredibly proud to present a 100% natural fibres Bouclé that holds all those promises of cosy, squishy, warm and super-soft characteristics, keeping your environmental consciousness guilt-free at the same time.
Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4)(5, 6, 7)(8, 9, 10):
Measurements given are for the finished garment with a chest circumference of 89 (99, 105.5, 117)(127, 141, 150)(162.5, 174, 185.5)cm / 35 (39, 41.5, 46)(50, 55.5, 59)(64, 68.5, 73)“.
We've done the maths for you so according to your size, the Flynn Yarn Kit contains all the yarn you need to complete your very own vest, and it can be bought with or without the pattern.
In addition you'll need circular needles size 6mm / US10 in 80cm/32” length, 8mm / US11 circular needle for working pocket top cast-on, 3.75 - 4mm / US5 - 6 needle for working the bind-off, and 2 - 3.25mm / US0 - 3 double pointed needle or any length circular needle (for picking up stitches). 8 stitch markers, row counter (optional, but the rows are very hard to see in such textured yarn - so recommended!), separating zipper, at least 2.5cm / 1” longer than finished vest length. Sewing needle and thread that matches yarn color and sewing pins to secure zipper in place.
