Deep V Argyle Vest
Deep V Argyle Vest
Found: See Eunny Knit
Yarn: Elegance from Knit Picks in Grass (about 3 balls) and Palette from Knit Picks in Fawn (about 2 1/2 balls)
Needles: Size US 3
Gauge: 5.5 stitches per inch, 6.5 rows per inch
Alterations: Made the entire sweater about 2 inches shorter than the pattern called for by shortening the rib section and knitting fewer rows on the bottom. Adjusted number of rows throughout to accommodate the bigger row gauge.
My first steeked sweater. Well, my first steeked anything, actually. Even this picture shows more contrast than exists in real life between the two colors. They are actually very close in value, creating a pattern that is subtle. I love this effect, and will probably be experimenting a little more with the idea in future. (Check out the Virgin vest from Norsk Strikkedesign to see what I mean.)
Can’t wait ’til winter! (it’s a little warm around here for wool sweaters, even sleeveless ones.)
