Year of the Horse waistcoat

This is a pattern to make a stranded work waistcoat worked in the round, from the bottom up, and with steeks. The charts in my patterns are large; many people use Knit Companion when working my patterns. You may also work on a computer to make the charts larger (this is what I do) or print on large format paper.

This pattern is intended for knitters who are familiar with complex colourwork charts and understand gauge/repeat and its relation to finished size. Finished size of your garment is determined both by needle size/gauge AND number of side panel repeats. I have included approximate suggested finished sizes, but there is room for change (any changes may result in changes of yarn amounts). There is a brief tutorial about the Ladder Back Jacquard technique as well as written and link instructions for steeking.
