Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2007:**
“The natural world that Kagan internalizes as she gazes out her studio window and surveys her thirteen-acre property in the picturesque Welsh hillsides frequently meanders its way into her acclaimed designs. This fitted waistcoat, in ‘Scottish Tweed 4-ply’ by Rowan/Westminster Fibers, is lushly planted with panels of intarsia leaves separated by tiny cables. Cabled trim and pointed fronts crisply define the vest’s shape.”

“Vest with twisted ribbed back and pointed fronts worked in leaf and mini cable patterns. Sized for one size, size Small-Large, and shown on page 81.”
