Minetta Vest Knitting Pattern Download

Description

A bold lace pattern is turned on its side to form a dramatic front openings and collar for this jaunty long vest. The sunspot motifs and surrounding arches resemble an architectural colonnade. The figure-flattering thigh length and A-line fit makes this a welcome layering piece. Gunmetal buttons lend a vintage military styling for a look that is of-the-moment.
