Laina Vest by Pascuali Designs

Craft: Knitting

The LAINA vest is worked from the bottom up using two strands of yarn. The body is worked in one piece up to the armholes; then the front and back sections are worked separately, each with armholes, neck opening and shoulder shaping. The simple lace pattern forms airy, ribbed stripes, which are framed by 1x1 ribbed borders.   

Sizes:

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows: (XS; S; M) (L; XL; XXL) (3XL; 4XL; 5XL) = (30; 32; 35) (39; 42; 46) (50; 54; 58)” / (76; 82; 90) (98; 107; 117) (127; 137; 147) cm bust circumference (measured on the body). The vest has a loose fit. Example: If your bust circumference is 35” (90 cm), you knit size M and the vest fits comfortably with a positive ease of 3.9” (10 cm).
