Edwin Vest
​Interweave | Urban Knit Collection: 18 City-inspired Knitting Patterns for the Modern Wardrobe, 2016


This vest is all about structure and symmetry. Beginning at the center, mirrored lines of traveling stitches angle, overlap, and intersect with each other. The cabled panels are separated by narrow stockinette stitch columns. The back is also filled with these cables, and once assembled, the intersecting lines all join together at the seams. My favorite detail on this vest has to be how the center column of stitches travels seamlessly into the collar.


Knitting Knowledge | This project is worked flat and requires:
• Knitting with circular and double-pointed needles
• Casting on and binding off
