Foxglove Vest

As if overnight, there are more May flowers in New York City than I could possible count, and among them is the beautiful Foxglove. Its sweeping lines and delicate bloom inspired this simple stockinette stitch vest.

I’m especially excited by the intuitive way I constructed this Foxglove Vest. It just seemed to blossom in my hands! To make it, you work in one piece from the bottom up. Along the way you use short rows to shape a subtle curved hem; you graft the shawl collar stitches together at the back neck; and you tack the right front over the left front to create a pullover with the look of a casual cardigan. Thoughtfully placed neckline and armhole decreases give the finished vest a polished look.

Purl Soho’s single ply Flax Down highlights the structure of this garment, and its sumptuous alpaca, wool, and linen blend lends a gentle drape. Flax Down comes in a range of colors from soft Foxglove purples through shades of gray (and more!). I chose Lavender Opal, a new addition to our palette and a beautiful ode to spring flowers! -Laura

Collar

Graft Left Right Collar Stitches

Slip the Left Collar stitches onto the circular needles (see photo, above). Then, with the right side facing you, use the left-hand end of the needles to slip the Right Collar stitches onto the needles. Slide each set of stitches to their respective ends of the needles, and hold the two needles parallel with the wrong sides of the fabric together. Thread the long tail onto a tapestry needle and use Kitchener Stitch to graft the Left and Right Collar stitches together.

Shoulders

Pick Up Set Aside

With the right side facing, slip the 14 (16, 18, 20, 21) 16 on-hold Front Left Shoulder stitches onto the shorter circular needles. Join yarn and with left-end of needles, pick up 38 (40, 42, 42, 44) Back Neck stitches along the bottom edge of the Collar (pick up approximately at 3 out of every 4 rows). Cut yarn. Lastly, slip the 14 (16, 18, 20, 21) Front Right Shoulder stitches onto the left-end of the needles. Set this aside while you finish the Back. [66 (72, 78, 82, 86) stitches]
