Craft: Knitting
We love the versatility of this piece—its look changes by simply adjusting the ties. Wrap and tie it across the front for the charm of a worker’s apron or kitchen coverall. Or wear it open for an elegant, elongated drape. Or lower the tie placement for more asymmetry. And with a stitch pattern that’s attractive on both sides, we’re touting its reversibility!
The Wrap & Tie Apron Vest is designed at a sport-weight gauge; we knit it with two lace-weight yarns held together, Isager Bomulin and Silk Mohair.
This eight-page pattern includes:
