Campion

Inspired by 1930s and ‘40s vintage style, this vest is knit seamlessly on circular needles from the bottom up to the armholes, then divided into front and back and knit flat to the shoulders. It features colorwork in traditional Fair Isle motifs with only two colors worked at the same time, with very short floats. Campion’s wide ribbing is nicely suited for styling with high-waisted trousers (or skirt); the pattern can also be modified from its current cropped style for a longer vest (see photo at bottom left). This pattern is written for five sizes.
