Weste Bommel

Inspiration and construction

Warm but chic – a teddy vest in the style of a suit vest.

Depending on how it is styled, it can be worn chic or sporty.

The vest is knitted seamlessly too down, starting with the back piece which is knitted to the end of the armholes. The front pieces are picked up from the back stitches and knitted with a V-neckline up to armhole height. The pieces are joined and knitted straight down; optionally, a slight waist can be worked here. The hem has a small slant at the front that imitates the character of a suit vest.
