Description

We just love this little vest designed by Thea Colman in our Le Gros Silk & Mohair. It is an easy addition to almost any outfit.

Regarding the idea behind the vest, Thea writes: "I loved the idea of an airy, light vest with just a touch of detail, and this silk and mohair yarn knit up on large needles in absolutely no time. I’ve always been a fan of contrasting bands at collar and armhole, but don’t ever use it - so I did. The little bit of stitchwork around the hem was fun to work, plus it served as an excuse for a third color! I really love the deep rich blue against the khaki - the combination reads as neutral, but it’s got a bit more sophistication than you expect - and it matches almost everything in my wardrobe".

BabyCocktails' beautiful vest in Biches & Bûches Le Gros Silk & Mohair is worked in three colors:

Color A - Dark Khaki, used on all ribbings
Color B - Dark Gold, detail color used above hem
MC - Dark Blue Turquoise, background color

We have prepared yarn bundles in three different colorways and you can find Thea's pattern on Ravelry.

CONSTRUCTION

Pousse Café is knit in the round from the bottom up and separated at armholes. Front and back pieces are then worked flat to shoulder and seamed. Once shoulders are seamed, stitches around armholes and neckline are picked up and worked in the round to end.
