OUTI KATER Moonvine

“THIS DESIGN in two shades of blue uses a vertical floral stitch throughout, reminding me of a garden in the moonlight,” says Outi Kater. “It is knitted in the round, with extra steek stitches to create ‘bridge’ fabric which is cut to create arm and neck openings. If Shetland wool is used, there is no need to strengthen the steeks with machine stitch, as they will not unravel.” Outi’s vest is knitted in Jamieson & Smith’s 2ply Jumper Weight Shetland wool.
