Leonie
Leonie
Leonie pairs classic tweed yarn and timeless style with graceful lace in this lovely vest. Equally easy to layer over dresses and buttondowns, Leonie will add a sophisticated flourish to a wide range of outfits.
Vest is knit from the bottom up with hems worked separately before joining to work in the round to the underarms. The back and front are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Neckband and armhole bands are picked up and worked in the round during finishing.
Lace pattern is both charted and written out.
