Playful loops add interest to this classic man’s vest, knitted in a soft extra-fine merino wool
“I wanted to create an energetic, fun and quirky garment that grown-ups could fashionably wear,” says Kyoko Nakayoshi. “The loop motif (which is like a scribble on your school notebook) is knitted using the Fair Isle technique. The gaps between the loop motif gradually increase; by the time it reaches the upper body, you would only work one set of the motif and the rest is worked in stocking stitch, so the garment grows surprisingly quickly!”
