// Merino Knit Kit // V-Neck Vestie Bestie

Your MOST requested pattern is finally here! What's a chunky knit wardrobe without a classic V-neck Vest - perfect for wearing on its own, or styling with your favourite shirt or tee.

This pattern can be made either in a cropped length or 'regular' length i.e to the top of your hips. If you would like a boxier style with wider shoulders then I suggest sizing up. The main photo is Marnie wearing a 10-12 whereas the red vest is a 14-16 -both cropped.
