Nest has the most subtle sheen to it, which provides the delicate feel I wanted here. Feel free to check out the test knits, where you’ll see a variety of length and fit options.Īs for the yarn, Magpie Nest was the perfect choice for mine. On me, the fit is a tad more cropped, ending closer to my waist, but still it’s quite loose on the body. My friend Helen is wearing my vest in these photos with a tank underneath, and she paired it with a floral silk skirt. I included this bit of detail to break up the lace pattern and to provide a space for modifying the overall fit around your body if desired. Under each arm is a narrow lace panel, bordered by reverse stockinette stitches. Detail along each armhole finishes the pattern off neatly, so your pattern edges are crisp and perfect. I added a wide neckline for that collar, and I made sure the shoulders wouldn’t be too narrow, so a bra or tank doesn’t have to peek out. I lined the hem up below the pattern so the rib pattern flows into the lace, and then I made sure the ribbing was nice and deep, both at collar and hem. The delicate lace is very simple and totally subtle, but it’s also detailed enough to hold its own. Plus, it’s an incredibly quick project, using only between 600 - 950 yards of worsted weight yarn in an easily memorized motif. It’s an easy knit, and the perfect thing to wear with a linen dress or high waisted bottoms in Spring, then layered with a longer shirt and jeans as the weather cools again. Grapefruit Pink Lady is a cute, fresh piece you can add to your wardrobe right now.
