Asymmetry - Slipover Vest - Rowan Kidsilk Haze & Rowan Felted Tweed
Asymmetry - Slipover Vest - Rowan Kidsilk Haze & Rowan Felted Tweed
This is a digital download, not a physical pattern.
Designed by Georgia Farrell, this slipover vest uses four colours of the ever popular Rowan Felted Tweed and two colours of Rowan Kidsilk Haze to create a vibrant slip-stitch and intarsia pattern that weaves colour and texture together throughout. This vest is as asymmetric as it's name: each armhole has a different edging, the right hip has an additional tab, as does the front hemline and i-cord trims are used randomly throughout to contrast with a more traditional ribbed edging. The classic silhouette is also given a modern twist by the wide side split at the left hip.
