Beech Leaf Vest Pattern by Fiddlesticks

This listing is for a paper copy of this pattern.

Skill Level: Advanced Intermediate and beyond
Gauge: 4 inches = 20 sts and 29 rows in stocking stitch

This vest comes in chest sizes 34", 38", 42", 46", 50", and 54". They call for 654, 763, 872, 981, 981 and 1090 yards respectively of a DK weight yarn, but our sport weight yarns could be substituted. We have sport weight yarn in pure Wool, Silk blend, Cotton blend and Alpaca blend.

The loop edging is crocheted, but clear written and photographic instructions are provided. Three panels of lace down the back of the vest match the panels in front. All of the shaping for the vest is done in the stocking stitch areas, so there's no need for the lace pattern to change.
