Joji Locatelli's Golden Field Vest is a textured staple designed for everyday wear. Knit seamlessly from the top down, it features an easy-to-memorize basketweave stitch pattern that creates a rich fabric while remaining relaxing to knit.
The clean silhouette makes it equally at home worn on its own or layered over a favorite shirt or dress, while the textured fabric adds interest without overwhelming the garment.
Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed is an excellent choice for Joji's Golden Field Vest because of its stunning depth of color, bringing a touch of Irish heritage and a burst of color to every stitch in the vest's basketweave motif.
The pattern includes 10 sizes and is designed to be worn with approximately 0” of ease, although anywhere from 2” (5 cm) of negative or positive ease works beautifully.
