Knitting Kit - Maggie Vest by PetiteKnit with Classic

Knitting Kit - Maggie Vest by PetiteKnit

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry see here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Maggie Vest is worked from the top down.
First, the back yoke is worked flat in rows, shaped with increases. Stitches for the shoulders are then picked up along the top edge of the back yoke, and each shoulder is worked separately, flat in rows, with increases and decreases to shape the fronts. Below the armholes, the fronts and back yoke are joined to form the body, which is worked flat in rows on a circular needle. Ribbed edgings are knitted around the armhole openings. Finally, button bands are knitted along the fronts and neckline.

It is recommended to knit a swatch before starting the project to check if the recommended needle size achieves the correct gauge.

Size Guide

The Maggie Vest is designed to have approximately 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is intended to be approximately 5 cm [2 inches] larger than your bust circumference.

Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust circumference of:
75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm
[29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches].

The measurements of the finished vest can be found on the first page of the pattern.
Please note: these measurements are only achieved if the gauge is met. Take your measurements before starting to determine which size will fit you best.

 Example: if your bust circumference is 90 cm [35½ inches], you should knit size S. A size S vest has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches], which will give you approximately 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease.
