COLORWORK VEST

Noro Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2013 #17

Design by Liz Nields

Contrasting colorways create striking lines on Liz Nields’s tunic-length stranded-colorwork vest, knit in Noro Kureyon #321 and #211. It’s knit in one piece before separating for the armholes. Use the darker of the two shades, #321, for the applied I-cord border, which is worked as unattached I-cord at the right front to create a buttonhole loop.
