Mosi Vest KIT
From € 83,50
Here is the newest addition to the Mosi Collection! After the mittens, the hat, the sweater and the socks, the Mosi Vest with a V neckline is a staple I felt was missing in my wardrobe, in which I can camouflage myself in the moss on a fresh Icelandic summer day. It is worked entirely in the round with my soft Icelandic lambswool yarn, Gilitrutt Tvíband, then steeked in 3 places for the armholes and neck, using the traditional method to cut open a lopapeysa (the traditional lopi sweater).
It comes in a large range of sizes from XS to 5XL, with a cinched waist or a straight body.
The kit contains enough wool to knit the straight body vest option. If you want to make the vest longer, choose the next size.

Choose your size: add the desired ease to your upper bust measurements and choose the size closest to the results.
The vest is short: if you want to make it longer, I recommend skipping the cinched waist and knitting the straight option.
The vests shown are a size M with a cinched waist and a size ML, straight and slightly longer than the pattern calls for.
