LEANDER CARDI VEST (Variante Sandnes Garn)

LEANDER CARDI VEST has an elegant and relaxed cut that invites you to cuddle all year round. The vest is ideally suited as a soft sheath in summer or as a warm and cozy additional layer in winter. The braid pattern gives the vest a classic style and creates a great three-dimensional feel that is both cozy and keeps the shape of the vest well.
Since the vest is worked from top to bottom (as far as possible in rounds), it does not have to be sewn together at the end. First, the rear-side pass is made, whereupon stitches are picked up along the shoulders for both front sides. Under the arm cutouts, the front and rear sides are connected to the torso and further knitted in rows. Subsequently, stitches for the bezels and the tie are picked up on the neck cutout, which are also produced in rows. Finally, stitches are picked up on the arm cutouts, which are worked in rounds. All edges are made in an entangled rib pattern and are chained off Italian.
