Thayer – Project Kit
Thayer – Project Kit
Knitted in our luxurious blend of cashmere and yak, the softly cabled Thayer vest is our new favorite version of a closet staple.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern with our Studio Blend No. 1 yarn. The yardage estimate for each kit factors in enough for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Each Thayer Project Kit includes a digital pattern, delivered by email at the time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below photographs for the number of skeins required per size. Make a skein amount and color selection to see its yarn photo.
Construction
Vest is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. Neckband and armholes are worked circularly from picked-up stitches. The Cable Patterns may be worked either from charts or from written directions.
