Port royal vest

Perfect for any occasion, this versatile vest brings a stylish flair to your wardrobe while ensuring ultimate comfort. The design allows for an intended fit with approximately 5 to 9 cm (2 to 3 1/2 inches) of ease, making it the ideal layering piece for both casual outings and chic evening events.
- Available Sizes: S, M, L, XL - Achieve a beautiful drape with our recommended gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows measured over stockinette stitch using 6 mm (UK n°4) (US 10) needles. This ensures that your finished vest has the perfect fit and texture.

This combination provides a stunning look and feel for your knitted vest.
- Recommended Tools: For this project, gather a set of n° 6 (UK n°4) (US 10) knitting needles, a cable needle, a stitch holder, a tapestry needle for weaving in your ends, and some pins to help you assemble your vest nicely.
