Farro

$6.50

Farro is a seamless long vest knit all in one piece from the bottom-up and features a lace stitch pattern along the hem, front panels and top of back. Worked in the worsted-weight Berroco Ultra Alpaca, Farro is a great long layering piece with a flattering A-line silhouette. Instructions also include tips on how to shorten if you prefer a shorter length.

Lace stitch pattern is both written out as well as charted. And if you have never done lace below, don’t be too intimidated! This lace pattern is an 8-row repeat (and you always purl all stitches on WS rows) and I provide multiple tips on how to keep track of what row you are on. Complete pattern details can be found below.

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
