Yarn kit for the Ester Vest by PetiteKnit.

The Ester Vest is knitted with a beautiful, not too difficult structural pattern. The moving spikes look classically beautiful and are reminiscent of traditional patterns.

You knit your Ester Vest with two threads, seamlessly from top to bottom in rows. We have put together the incredibly beautiful yarn combination of Alpakka and Alpakka Folgetrad for you. These two yarns feel very soft and are nice and warm. The Folgetrad thread shimmers very slightly and forms the perfect combination with the fluffy Alpakka.

size guide

The Esther Vest should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 6 cm. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) fit a chest circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The dimensions of the finished vest can be found on the front page. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) is 90 cm, you should choose size S as this has a chest circumference of 96 cm and the positive ease in the example given is 6 cm.
