Harrington by Mel Kennelly

Craft: Knitting

Harrington is a cozy vest that’s easy to layer over virtually any outfit. Knit in soft Talara yarn, this vest will work up quickly and give you a great range of colors to choose from. Harrington offers fabulous reverse stockinette stitch texture with a slipped-stitch detail, and working the body inside out cleverly reduces purling.

Vest is knit from the bottom up in the round to the underarms. The back and front are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Neckband is picked up and worked in the round during finishing.
