Knitting kit - Bruno Vest by Moreca Knit

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

Pattern available in English. 

The Bruno Slipover is worked top-down in stockinette stitch.
The knitting begins with the left and right back pieces, which are worked separately. After picking up stitches for the neckline, the pieces are joined to work the back as one piece. Then, stitches are picked up to work the left and right front pieces separately. Once the front neckline stitches are picked up, the pieces are joined and worked straight.

Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to create the edgings, worked in 1x1 twisted rib back and forth. This edging is folded in half and secured on the wrong side. After this, all parts are joined to work the body in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up and worked to form the neckline in the round in 1x1 twisted rib, also folded in half and secured on the wrong side.

• The caramel garment in the picture is in Cashmere Classic col.700 by Cardiff, size S.

Sizes

XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL

The Bruno Slipover has an oversized and cropped fit and is designed to have approximately 20 cm [8 inches] of positive ease, slightly reduced for larger sizes to ensure a more comfortable fit. This means that the garment measurements will be approximately 20 cm [8 inches] larger than your actual bust circumference.

Sizes XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of:
80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 / 110-120 / 120-130 cm
[31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ / 43¼-47¼ / 47¼-51¼ inches]

Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the correct size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm [36½ inches], you should knit a size M. If you are between two sizes, choose the size based on the desired loose fit. The finished garment measurements diagram can help decide on the size.
