Bascom by Kate Gagnon Osborn

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

Because of its refined details (like a split hem and short-rowed shoulders), Bascom works as both a vest or a first layer.

Germantown Bulky and Cardo have the body to give the simple, two-stitch repeat distinctive depth.
