This leads to a situation where the drape of the resulting garment can be totally inappropriate, and can lead to the waste of a large amount of work and yarn. This is a problem if you are short-waisted or thick on top, as short vests are not as flattering a shape. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Both functional and decorative, these wonderful projects for men’s and women’s vests are accompanied by folk stories and regional histories from the country of the design’s origin, including Tibet, Scandinavia, Guatemala, Japan, North America, and many others. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. The patterns contained in this book are visually very appealing, but are let down by the lack of care given to their construction. It’s free from harmful chemicals, is certified organic, and fair-for-life certified at every stage from field to finish.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. My favorites, however, are an African vest in a mudcloth-like black and white pattern, and a Peruvian llama vest with a gorgeous patterned band on a rich brown plain knit vest.Narrow shoulders and a uniquely pieced back construction are accented by a small pleat on either side of the back and small side slits at the hemline.

The Prince of Wales' famous fairisle is also here, with a note that the colors of the vest in the portrait of the Prince were probably not those on the actual vest.

Bodices, or vests, from several areas of Poland are similar in general construction, with differences in detailing and decoration. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Die Beschreibungen der einzelnen Muster sind gut und ausführlich, zu jeder Weste gibt es eine kleine Geschichte. That said, there is a great deal of inspiration ot be had for those knitters who are willing to re-chart the designs given. In particular, the Japanese vests look like Ikat dyed handloomed cotton, both a single direction dyed ikat and a double-dyed check pattern (Kasuri) in the traditional indigo color.Once you realize the same basic shape is in all of the vests you start looking at the shoulder shaping instead. Yarn weight used for the projects varies from sport to chunky, so whether you like skinny needles or thick ones there is something for you here.

The random striped vest versions could also be knit in handpainted wool--a nice use for this popular technique of dyeing.
