Pierrot Vest by Cecilia Lalanne

Craft: Knitting

The Pierrot Vest has a simple boxy shape and a fun graphic motif. It is a great way to get you started in intarsia as it is a simple project that is fun and easy to knit!

This pattern is knitted flat from the bottom up in Cardo, our bulky hand dyed yarn made with 100% corriedale wool.

The vest is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch, front and back are knitted separately following intarsia charts. Later, the two parts are sewn together and the neck and armhole ribs are knitted in the round.
