Asymmetry Vest by Georgia Farrell in Rowan Felted Tweed and Kidsilk Haze
The Asymmetry Vest is a sophisticated, fashion-forward knitted waistcoat designed by Georgia Farrell and published by Rowan. Available as a downloadable PDF, this pattern is rated advanced in difficulty and offers a striking, deliberately uneven silhouette — hence the name — making it a standout statement piece for experienced knitters seeking a creative challenge. The design is worked in a rich combination of two iconic Rowan yarns, blending texture and a subtle halo for a luxurious finish.
Design Overview
The Asymmetry Vest is a sleeveless garment — a waistcoat — featuring two deliberately different armhole treatments. One armhole is finished with a cord edge (Kordelrand), while the other armhole is later given a wide ribbed band (breites Bündchen im Rippenmuster). This intentional asymmetry is the defining design feature of the garment and gives it its name. The construction requires careful attention to shaping on both sides independently, making this a project that rewards knitters with strong pattern-reading skills.
Sizing
The pattern is offered in nine sizes, accommodating a wide range of bust measurements:
- To fit bust: 71–76, 81–86, 91–97, 102–107, 112–117, 122–127, 132–137, 142–147, and 152–157 cm
- Actual knitted bust measurements range from 83 cm up to 165 cm across the size range, providing generous positive ease throughout
Yarn and Materials
The vest is knitted using a palette of six yarn shades drawn from two Rowan yarn lines, combining a DK weight and a lace weight yarn for textural contrast and depth of colour.
Rowan Felted Tweed (DK weight, 50 g balls)
- Colour A: Rose Quartz 206 — used across all sizes, ranging from 2 to 4 balls
- Colour B: Aluminium 210 — used across all sizes, ranging from 2 to 5 balls
- Colour E: Bottle Green 207 — 1 ball required in all sizes
- Colour F: Sulfur 220 — 1 ball required in all sizes
Rowan Kidsilk Haze (Lace weight, 25 g balls)
- Colour C: Eve Green 684 — 1 to 2 balls depending on size
- Colour D: Peacock 671 — 1 ball required in all sizes
Rowan Felted Tweed is a beloved DK-weight yarn known for its rustic, tweedy character, achieved through a felting process that gives it a slightly fulled surface texture and excellent stitch definition. Rowan Kidsilk Haze is a delicate lace-weight yarn made from kid mohair and silk, prized for its soft halo and luminous quality. Together, these two yarns create a rich interplay of matte texture and gentle sheen within the colourwork sections of the vest.
Needles
- 3.25 mm (UK 10 / US 3) knitting needles — used for finer detail and edging work
- 4 mm (UK 8 / US 6) knitting needles — used for the main body fabric
Tension / Gauge
The stated tension is 21 stitches and 30 rows to 10 × 10 cm, measured over the stitch pattern using 4 mm needles. Achieving the correct tension is especially important in a garment with this level of shaping complexity and colourwork placement.
