MATERIALS

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).
