Basket Weave Vest
This is the Basket Weave Vest knitting pattern. It is suitable for intermediate knitters. The pattern uses the ‘basket weave’ technique which consists of knits and purls. The sweater has a folded ribbed collar and a drop-shoulder. The sweater fits baggy because it has a 15-20 centimetre positive ease, meaning the bust of the sweater is 15-20 centimetres bigger than the bust of the person wearing it. This sweater can be made for any gender in sizes XS through 3XL. The instructions are written per size, like so XS (S) M (L) XL (XXL) 3XL
