Dale knitted vest

This chunky wool cable-knit vest will keep you warm and stylish in autumn weather. In between seasons, the vest can be worn like a short-sleeved sweater, and as winter approaches, it can be worn as a stylish extra layer over a knitted dress. Designed by Sisko Sälpäkivi, the Dale vest is knitted in closed knit up to the armholes, and from there upwards, the upper parts are knitted separately in flat knit. Finally, elastic ribbing is knitted in closed knit for the neckline and armholes.
