Description

This is a pdf knitting pattern written in English, once purchased it will be available for you to download.

This open stitch waistcoat is a quick, satisfying project designed to help you build confidence while creating a beautifully textured garment.

Worked bottom-up in three pieces (one back panel and two front panels), the design keeps construction simple while introducing key garment techniques. The shaping is incorporated directly into the stitch pattern.

The open stitch is created by working yarn overs and dropping them on the following row to form elongated stitches, resulting in a soft, airy fabric with natural drape.

The waistcoat is finished with chain stitch ties and optional tassels, adding a handcrafted detail and a simple introduction to finishing techniques.

Once finished, your waistcoat becomes a versatile layering piece — ideal for beach days, festivals, or relaxed everyday wear.

Skills used: basic knit stitches, yarn overs, simple shaping, seaming, and easy finishing.

Sizes: Women’s Small, Medium, Large

Materials: 15mm needles, 2–3 balls chunky Verona yarn
