The Pettson Vest
The Pettson Vest is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The back piece is worked in reverse stockinette, with the wrong side facing, while the fronts are worked with the right side out. The v-neck and optional pocket add a classic touch, and the notch in the buttonband add a contemporary feel. Choose a marled yarn for a salt and pepper look or choose your favourite colour for the perfect go-to layer on chilly days!
