Wellspring Vest

The Fair Isle vest is truly a timeless wardrobe staple that remains a fashion favorite season after season. Introducing the Wellspring vest, this beautiful piece features an allover, easy-to-memorize colorwork pattern that is artfully complemented by flattering vertical stripes on each side. For those seeking the most classic look, we recommend knitting this stunning vest in two solid, complementary colorways. If you’re an adventurous knitter looking to showcase unique textures and hues, consider using a variegated yarn paired with a solid neutral colorway for a striking contrast.

This stylish vest is expertly knitted in the round from the bottom hem up to the base of the armhole and neck shaping. At this juncture, steeks are added, allowing the body of the vest to be knitted in the round all the way to the shoulders, providing seamless comfort and a polished appearance. Once you reach the shoulders, they are seamed together securely, and then the steeks are carefully cut and secured for added durability. Finally, the armhole and neck edgings are knitted to finish off this versatile and chic Fair Isle vest.

This pattern not only allows you to learn new knitting techniques but also results in a fashionable item that can be paired with various outfits. Whether worn over a collared shirt for a preppy look or layered under a stylish jacket, the Wellspring vest is sure to become a beloved addition to any wardrobe. Embrace your creativity and elevate your knitting skills while crafting this beautiful Fair Isle vest that will never go out of style!
