Frisky Witch Vest by Thea Colman
Knitting Pattern
Frisky Witch is a simple ribbed vest, with just a touch of cables.
Frisky Witch is knit from the bottom up in the round to armholes and then split into front and back pieces, which are knit flat to shoulders. Once shoulders are seamed, stitches are picked up around the armholes and neckline for the cowl neck and armhole trim.
Notes are included in pattern for modifying length or body circumference and for altering side shaping, as well as neckline and shoulders. I’ve also included information on creating either a turtleneck or collared option. Cable instructions are both charted and written.
