Lennox Vest by Sarah E. Chapman
Craft: Knitting
This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website).
Three-season yarn Serena is warmed up here with a strand of Cabrito. The resulting fabric keeps the soft, supple drape of the cotton/alpaca blend, while adding the delicate haze of laceweight mohair. The all-in-one construction makes this a simple extra layer for warmth and style.
The Cabrito Collection is an exploration of how a strand of our laceweight kid mohair yarn, Cabrito, paired with another yarn adds a layer of rich texture and velvety warmth.

Notes
-This vest is worked from the top down. After working the upper back, the stitches for each front are picked up along the shoulder line and worked separately down to the underarms, then all three parts are joined for working the lower body in one piece down to the lower edge.
-This project is worked with one strand each of Serena and Cabrito held together throughout.
