Chunky Knit Pocket Vest
This versatile sweater vest is incredibly easy to wear and style with just about anything in your wardrobe! Featuring a quick and simple knit design, it’s perfect for transitioning between seasons. Whether you're layering it over a tank top, a summer dress, or even a blouse or sweater, this piece will elevate your outfit effortlessly. Knit using chunky weight yarn on a US #13 needle, this sweater vest is designed for comfort and practicality.
Available in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL), this sweater vest sports finished measurements of 32 (36, 40, 48, 54) inches. For those who prefer a roomier fit, I recommend sizing up for a more oversized look instead of a fitted style. This ensures versatility and comfort, allowing you to wear it in various ways throughout the year.
To complete your knitting project, you will need 425 (450, 475, 520, 560) yards of chunky weight yarn, along with a US #13 straight needle (or the size needed to achieve the correct gauge). Additionally, gather 3 buttons with a 1-inch diameter for closure. The sample shown was crafted using 'Lil Crazy Sexy Wool by Wool and the Gang, showcasing the vibrant texture and cozy feel of the yarn.
When it comes to gauge, make sure to achieve 2.5 stitches per inch for the perfect fit. This beginner-friendly pattern is knitted flat using straight needles, making it an ideal project for new knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a stylish and practical garment.
Discover the joy of knitting with this easy sweater vest pattern, perfect for casual outings or layering during chilly days! Don’t miss out on adding this chic piece to your wardrobe collection.
