A while ago, I ordered We Are Knitters Whitney Cardigan kit. Unfortunately, I didn’t like how over-sized it was. I decided to make a vest cardigan out of it instead.
I’m still new to writing patterns. If you end up trying this and something doesn’t look right, please don’t hesitant to contact me.
Pattern:
Abbreviation:
RS: right side
WS: wrong side

Cast off all st.
Front Piece:
Cast on 40 st.
Row 1-5: stockenette stitch
RS: knit 40 st
WS: purl 40 st
Row 6-25:
RS: knit 6, purl 28, knit 6
WS: purl 6, knit 28, purl 6
Row 26-38 right shoulder:
Row 26: work the first half st as follow, I used # as numbers of stitches because it changes every row due to p2tog or k2tog
RS: knit 6, purl # st till 6 st left, p2tog, knit 4, turn
WS: purl 4, k2tog, knit # st till 6 st left, purl 6, turn
Cast off all st.
Row 26-38 left shoulder:
Repeat above steps for right shoulder.
Sew front and back together leaving enough room for armholes.
I can’t remember how many skeins I used for this vest. I’m guessing about two and a half skeins. The Whitney Cardigan came with seven skeins of wool. I used most of the skeins for the modified Whitney Cardigan, Pearl White Fuzzy Beanie, Aster Flower Cowl, and this vest.
