As soon as I saw Vest of Luck designed by Zaneteknits, I wanted to make it. I thought it was really cute. I did not like the styling, however. I do not do tight or cropped, so I made some elemental changes to its silhouette. I knit it longer, wider, and changed the armhole openings to be deeper like the popular Lulu Slipover that both Sally and I already made.
The yarn I used is Léttlopi in Black Heather, Rust Heather, and Apricot. My gauge was a bit off, and I wanted the length, so I recharted the design to add rows. That added width as well, which worked out fine. I did some duplicate stitch just below the jewel neckline to add interest. I really, really like this little vest!
Here you can see the motif I added to the neckline:
All in all, a success!!
