Faith Vest
"Featuring a flattering V-neckline, the Faith vest is worked in two simple rectangles that are seamed together to create a stylish and comfortable garment. A ribbed hem is added but you can leave it off for a cropped, boxy design. The pattern uses the granny spike stitch which is worked lengthwise with the stitches forming the length and the rows determining the width. This adds fabulous texture and visual interest! Perfect for layering over a long-sleeve t-shirt or a blouse, you can also wear your vest without layering, making it a great choice for year-round wear. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS DK; total yarn (see finished size for separate colour amounts); 988, (1086, 1293, 1400, 1542, 1662, 1803, 1923) 4mm / G-6 Crochet Hook Tape Measure Stitch Markers Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE To Fit (inches) Width (inches) Length (inches) Main Colour approx (yds) Contrast Colour approx (yds) Total yarn approx.
