Cozy Vesty

Cozy Vesty: Your Perfect Knitting Project - As the name suggests, the Cozy Vesty is the ultimate oversized slipover, designed for comfort and style. Knit in a beautiful half fisherman’s rib, this cozy garment features double-layered cuffs on the collar and arms, providing that extra touch of warmth and sophistication.

The Cozy Vesty is expertly crafted in a seamless design from the top down. Start by knitting the luxurious double-layered neckband, then seamlessly transition into rounds as you incorporate increases at the shoulders for an effortlessly relaxed fit. The knitting technique ensures that the transition between sections is smooth and stylish.

Once you reach the armholes, the pattern guides you to knit the front and back separately in rows, before closing the work in the round below the armholes to continue knitting down to the cuffs. The final touch is the completion of the cozy, double-layered sleeve cuffs, making the Cozy Vesty a versatile piece suitable for layering or wearing on its own.

This slipover is designed to fit loosely, providing a positive ease of approximately 18cm (7”) for that laid-back, effortless look. For reference, the sample was created in size B, with a finished circumference of 104cm (40.9”) – perfect for a bust measurement of 86cm (34”).
