Wensum

The Wensum vest features a stranded colourwork design on the front. The back is knitted plain. Colourwork can be repeated on the back if desired. Button band fastening to the sides gives a tabbard twist to the vest. The fronts & backs are knitted flat bottom up. The button band stitches are set aside whilst the fronts and backs are worked. The stitches are then picked up from the ribbed hem & knitted separately up to the armholes. The bands are sewn into place before the stitches are incorporated into the armbands to finish.
