Southwest (digital recipe)

Sørvest is an oversized vest with drop-down shoulders that is knitted bottom-up. The garment is quick to knit on 6 mm needles using Vams from Rauma Ullvarefabrikk (100% Norwegian wool). The vest is knitted in the round until the pattern is complete. The back and front are then knitted flat before the shoulders are sewn together and the hood is knitted. The hood is knitted flat and sewn together at the top. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes and along the hood for the edge and button band. Sørvest should have an ease of 10-15 cm. Measure your bust and add 10-15 cm to find your size.
