Knit a V-Neck Button Vest

The Wildwood Sweater Vest is a classic V-neck sweater vest with buttons that can be worn all-year-round. It’s a timeless layering piece that’s fun to wear on its own or over your favorite shirt or dress. It’s worked from the top down and the back and fronts are joined at the armhole. It’s meant to fit a tad cropped and a bit oversized and will soon become a wardrobe staple.

Size Guide + Finished Measurements

The pattern is written in 6 sizes, 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), with a finished bust size of 36 (39.5, 42.5, 46, 49, 52) in/ 91.5 (100.5, 108, 117, 124.5, 132) cm. It is intended to have about 4-8 in/10-20.5 cm of positive ease so pick a size that will provide the intended ease. For example, if you’re a 36 in/91.5 cm bust, a size 3 would be appropriate. Feel free to adjust body length and armhole depth as desired.

Yarn

Approximately 2 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2) skeins of Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick + Quick yarn (223 yds/204 m per 12oz/340g skein; 100% recycled polyester) or any other super bulky weight yarn that meets gauge. Color shown is Espresso.
