The Ana Vest is contemporary, comfortable, a pleasure to knit, and a showstopping addition to any wardrobe. Its elongated silhouette and bright color make this vest stand out from the crowd. An intentional but random-looking knit-and-purl pattern makes both the knitting and the wearing captivating. This project requires minimal finishing, with few steps between bind-off and wearing.
