The Everyday Round Vest by Noriko Ichikawa will earn a permanent place in your wardrobe. With its clean lines, relaxed fit, and timeless styling, it's easy to layer over a favorite shirt or dress, or wear on its own when the weather is warm.
About the Yarn
We used Isager Merilin and Isager Trio 1 held together throughout the project. Merilin is a fingering-weight blend of wool and linen that offers excellent stitch definition and a soft hand, while Trio 1 combines linen, cotton, and lyocell for a light, airy feel.
Together, these yarns create a fabric that feels comfortable against the skin and has a lovely, natural texture. The combination is lightweight enough for warmer weather but substantial enough to layer through multiple seasons.
Design Details
The Everyday Round Vest is a simple, modern sleeveless pullover with a relaxed silhouette and classic crew neckline. Worked from the top down, the pattern allows you to try it on as you knit and adjust the length to suit your style.
The stockinette fabric keeps the focus on the yarn, while the clean finishing details give the vest a polished look. It's an understated design that's easy to wear and easy to pair with the rest of your wardrobe.
