Easy Country Vest – Beginner Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Sizes: Women’s S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL  (Bust 36″–56″)

There’s something quietly appealing about a vest with a proper collar — it brings a relaxed country warmth to everyday layering without any fuss. This easy garter stitch vest knitting pattern delivers exactly that: a classic sleeveless design with a cozy turn-down collar, worked in three pieces from the bottom up using only the most basic knitting stitches. Available in six sizes from Small through 3XL, it’s equally at home over a weekend flannel shirt or a lightweight blouse for cooler-weather styling. Beginners will appreciate that only cast on, bind off, knit, and a simple increase are needed from start to finish. The buttonless version is as good as the buttoned one.
