Melissa Leapman’s Arianna Vest is the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. She chose Berroco’s Blackstone Tweed, a wool,mohair, and angora blend, for the knit version of the vest. The striped section is worked in rows and then turned so the stripes run vertically, and the yoke is picked from the row edges of the lower section. The composition of the DK-weight yarn makes the knitted fabric soft and warm.
SIZES: Vest is sized to fit Women’s Small (Medium, Large, X-Large, XX-Large, XXX- Large).

Carmen Becerril chose Omega Yams’ sport-weight, 100% mercerized-cotton Sinfonia for her dramatic Leaf and Cable Vest design. The vest is worked in two long leaf-and-cable panels, which are seamed together to form the back. The remaining length of each panel is brought to the front, crossed, and the ends are seamed to the back at the hem edge to create the sides.
SIZES: One size fits most; vest can be adjusted (see Designer Notes).
