Long Line Cabled Vest Coat

Intermediate Knitting
Amazingly simple, yet compellingly useable.  The perfect addition for a travelling wardrobe as 2 items make 4 separate looks:

1. Vest
2. Shrug
3. Coat (vest & shrug - put the shrug on first and overlay it with the vest)
4. Vest with scarf (vest with shrug tied around the neck)

Knitted with Adorn Silky Merino DK and Adorn Silky Merino 4 ply yarn, the long cabled vest is knitted in one piece up to the armholes for minimum sewing up. Fitted at the bodice with a combination of rib and cable patterns, the vest is flattering for most shapes. It is easy to shorten the vest if desired.

The shrug/sleeves is knitted in one piece with the same yarn combination.  When wearing as a coat, the shrug is donned first, followed by the vest over the top.
