Inspired by my recent trip to breathtaking Sweden, we are excited to introduce the Carl Linnaeus Vest, a beautifully designed piece that pays tribute to the renowned botanist. This useful vest is not only warm and feminine but also features a lovely drape, making it an ideal piece for versatile layering. Whether worn as a stand-alone vest or as an extra layer over your favorite blouse or long-sleeved tee, the Carl Linnaeus Vest is a must-have for any wardrobe.

The yarn used for this pattern is incredibly delightful to work with, showcasing stitch detail brilliantly and allowing the carefully shaped decreases to drape elegantly. Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, this pattern is worked flat in two separate pieces, which are then seamed at both shoulders. To finish it off, a clever moss stitch neckband is worked in the round, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.

One of the standout features of this vest is its sturdy buttonholes, which are expertly designed to hold buttons securely in place, preventing any unwanted nuisances of slipping away. Whether you're dressing up for an outing or adding a layer of warmth during cooler days, the Carl Linnaeus Vest is versatile enough to suit any occasion.
