From designer Emma Fassio, the Linee Curve sweater vest features a shawl collar on a wraparound body with a cutout design for armholes. Measuring 56" wide from end to end, the body of this vest is 21" long from collar to lower edge and 19" long from bottom of armhole to border. The finished armholes are 24" in circumference, with front panels of about 10" each that can be crossed either way - the right side is in plain stockinette stitch like the back, and the left side has two decorative lace-stitch rows. Styled by the designer with a shawl pin or brooch at the top (not included), this feather-light vest can also be worn open, the front panels flatteringly draped. I used Berroco Moshi for this pattern, a baby alpaca, wool, and nylon blend worsted yarn in a neutral blue-toned gray with subtle flecks of green, pink, and blue. Incredibly lightweight and soft, this vest feels like a cashmere cloud, generously sized for a relaxed fit. This versatile piece covers like a vest but fits like a capelet, the ideal layer for changing seasons.
