What you need to know

Layer up with our gorgeous sleeveless top

We get very excited when we get to try out a new stitch pattern and love the shell effect on Sian Brown's fabulous vest. It’s worked by wrapping the yarn around the needle several times to create elongated stitches, then increasing and decreasing to create the gathers. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried it before, you’ll be able to practise while knitting your tension square. Take a look at our Knitwise panel for extra guidance on the neck shaping.

Don't forget to save your PDFs to your computer or tablet device as soon as it has been downloaded.
