An Oversized Cable Vest // Design by Tabetha Hedrick
Lush cables, an oversized silhouette, and cosy yarn come together into the perfect garment for fall. Featuring a deep v-neck and an oversized fit, you'll love layering this vest as much as you'll love knitting it.
Fairlee knitting pattern includes eight sizes. The vest is worked flat in two pieces and then seamed. Then, the ribbed mitered neckline and sleeve cuffs are worked in the round after seaming.
