Must-knit autumn essentials

Vintage-inspired V-necks

1. An understated button-up that is as elegant as it is cozy. Crochet in any color Merino 100% yarn of your choice to create this classic piece. With its relaxed low neckline and plait-style motif down the front this vest is ideal to both dress down for a more casual look or pair with a neat collared shirt for something smarter.

2. Choose two colors from our Soft Gratté yarn range for this cropped patterned vest so it’s bespoke to you! By combining a geometric motif, reminiscent of the age-old argyle pattern, with a contemporary cropped length and deep neckline this piece is the perfect twist on a timeless classic. Elegant and trendy – a dream duo.

3. Our button-up oversized sweater vest is perfect for those colder days. Because of the mixture of stitches and patterns used in this design it means that it has a lot of texture and, combined with the multicolor blends of Azteca yarn, the overall look is wonderfully original. Ideal for super cozy layering.

4. The different unique elements of this cozy roll-neck vest make it a real one-of-a-kind piece. It has a longer-length back, a high chunky collar, and open sides with cord-like ties – which make it perfect for wearing on top of almost anything for supreme comfort. Enjoy making this easy-to-knit vest in one of our Cotton In Love yarn colors in time for autumn.

For the little ones

5. Knit this cheerful roll-neck vest for kids! Its soft ribbed collar makes it super cozy, while its sleeveless design and lace-like arrowhead motif on the front mean it’s breathable and non restrictive. This pattern is designed for children between 2 and 8 years old and the bright and colorful gradients of our Varanasi yarn make it a firm favorite for this age range.

6. Our easy-to-knit colorblock v-neck is great for personalizing because of its 3-color design. Pick from our large range of Basic Merino yarn so you can create a composition of your child’s favorites. This pattern is intended for kids aged between 4 and 12 years old and features a combination of stitches including a moss stitch for a beautifully subtle texture.

7. This classic sleeveless baby’s vest, for ages 3 to 24 months, has a simple shape with cute and practical button details on the shoulders, and a delicate fisherman’s rib. Choose a soft Alpaquina yarn for this wonderfully relaxing knitting project.
