Roll Neck Vest

Simple and classic, with a modern twist.I designed this top because I was looking for something simple and classic, with a modern twist. I wanted something that made me feel confident and well put-together and this turned out to be it.

I love the figure-hugging fit, and the way the armholes are shaped to reveal just a little more shoulder than you might be used to. For me, the roll neck provides the perfect bit of balance to make this crop feel super sophisticated and the two-by-two ribbing is just the finish it needs.

I like mine a little longer these days, so I’ve included two lengths - a longer length that comes down to the waist, and a shorter length that shows a little more midriff.

I also think this would look absolutely gorgeous in a stripe - perhaps a breton style for Spring!

This pattern has been re-released in 2020 with updated and expanded sizing for greater inclusivity.

Construction

This pattern contains instructions to knit the vest flat or in-the-round.
