Pirouette
Pre-order the book at Laine stockists worldwide.
This classic v-neck vest can be worn either
alone or over a blouse. The clean lines of
the twisted rib are broken up with twirling
cables at the hem and around the neckline.
Vests are such a great way to add some
knitwear to an outfit and are very versatile
to style.
Pirouette is worked from the bottom up, flat and
in the round, in half twisted rib stitch. Cables are
worked at the hem and on either side of the front
neckline. Once the body is knitted, front and back
shoulders are grafted together after which the
neckband and armholes are finished with ribbing.
