#82 Talia Shaped Vest PDF Knitting Pattern
When
I need a slimming pick-me-up outfit, I reach for something
fitted, something black, something with gorgeous detailing
that will make me feel instantly more chic. Finding
nothing in my closet that met these lofty needs, I
decided to create this shapely knit vest.
It's all about the curves and detailing (and no seams!).
This vest is knit from the bottom up in one piece,
including the button bands, starting with a sexy,
curvy scroll lace border. The lace stitch naturally
creates the pretty scalloped hem. The stitches are
then decreased in three stages to get the beautiful,
tiered effect that leads into the nipped in waist.
The curvy scroll lace is continued up the front and
ends with the open, u-shaped neckline (great for wearing
with all sorts of tops and designed to flatter). Arm
and neck borders are worked in garter stitch with
decreases at the underarm for the best fit and tapering
at the front top border corners to keep with the curvy
theme.
The resulting fit is ultra flattering whether it's
worn casually open or closed like a fitted corset.
I love this vest with a flirty blouse and dark skirt
for a night out, or over a long-sleeve tee and jeans.
It's the perfect go-to piece to fill the void in my
closet.
