HOODED TUNIC VEST

Knit Simple Winter 2012 #19

Design by Mari Lynn Patrick

This tunic-length wrap vest boasts plenty of arresting top-to-bottom details, from the elfin hood to the asymmetric closure to the varied charcoal banding that anchors the look. The knit-in hems at the front placket and bottom edge give the piece a polished finish.
