I do know I’ve stated this earlier than, however in the previous few years I’ve actually grow to be a fan of vests. They take much less time to knit than a sweater, and you’ll put on them for extra of the yr, as a layer over lengthy sleeves, brief sleeves, and even over a sweater.
Trollabackarna by Sanne Bjerregaard is one vest knitting sample that caught my eye just lately.
This colourful, boxy vest requires 4 colours of yarn, however it could be straightforward to make use of scraps for the colorwork and simply change colours each time it’s worthwhile to.
In keeping with the sample, Trollabackarna (which is in Sweden) is a spot of peace:
Deep within the northeast of Skåne, the hills lie the place legends and shadows exist facet by facet. The identify isn’t any coincidence — right here, boulders stand like petrified giants, and the winding paths weave between roots and silent timber, as if they’re guiding you — for those who dare to comply with.
The sample is labored from the underside up, beginning with a twisted rib hem. The physique is all two coloration stranded knitting, with the contrasting coloration labored in stripes (once more, you need to use one coloration or many right here) within the spherical as much as the armholes. The tops of the vest are labored flat and joined with a three-needle bind off.
The armholes and neckline are labored in twisted rib and folded over and sewn right down to the within after knitting.
The colorwork is charted, however that is so huge and graphic it needs to be fairly straightforward for you even for those who’re new to colorwork knitting or studying charts.
The sample is out there in seven sizes, meant to suit a chest circumference starting from 32 to 53.5 inches/82-136 cm. It seems to be like every dimension has 3-4 inches/7.5-10 cm of constructive ease. It requires worsted weight yarn and the sample is out there at no cost in English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Norwegian and Swedish from Filcolana.
