Serene Vest Knitting Pattern
The Serene Vest is a crew neck, slightly oversized vest with deep armholes and a fitted waist. The relaxed silhouette and sleek waistband that fits the body create a more three-dimensional piece that plays on the basic design. There are two different waistband options: A double-knitted band or a twisted rib band.
