Cahal
Introducing the Cahal Origami Vest, a stunning creation featuring reversible cables that effortlessly fold into shape. This innovative vest design incorporates open seams at the bottom to create stylish vents, ensuring comfort with a touch of flair. The horizontal seam gracefully draws a line across the shoulders, culminating in a gentle curve at the armhole, adding an elegant detail to your knitting project. The versatility of the Cahal Vest allows you to wear it with both sides out by utilizing either a neat or flat seam finish, giving you two beautiful looks in one piece.
Yarn Meterage: 1230 (1400, 1570) meters. Sample yarn suggested: Hillesvåg, Tinde (100% wool, 260 meters, 100 grams).
Needles: Use a 3.5mm/US 4 circular needle (80 cm) to create this remarkable piece. Feel free to adjust the needle size as needed to meet the gauge accurately.
Notions: Gather essential knitting supplies including removable stitch markers, a cable needle for crafting the intricate cables, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends smoothly.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch; after blocking, your gauge should measure 10 cm square. The 14-stitch Lattice Cable should measure 5 cm across for precise craftsmanship.
Notes: The Cahal Vest is expertly knitted in two distinct parts. The front panel is designed as a perfect square, while the back features an additional 30.5 cm of body length that elegantly folds over the shoulders, creating the stylish upper front and the neck opening. This unique construction not only enhances the vest’s aesthetics but also ensures a flattering fit for various body types.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Cahal Origami Vest is a rewarding project that combines creativity with functionality. Perfect for layering or as a standalone statement piece, this vest is sure to become a favorite in your wardrobe.
