Knitting Pattern for Cozy Vest | CAPE#Jacket #2 | MerinoSuperKid #2

A classic with a fresh twist – the CAPE#Jacket #2 is the cozy sister of the popular CAPE#Jacket #1.
Lightly oversized, comfortable yet stylish – the perfect piece for chilly autumn and winter days.

The vest is knitted top down in one piece. Sleeves, front and back are worked together – no need for complicated seams. Finally, the front bands and sleeve cuffs are added, giving the jacket its signature cape-style look.

The airy texture pattern adds structure and lightness, while the chosen yarn provides softness and warmth.

This pattern is also part of the MerinoSuperKid Family – the 2nd member of a series with more to come! (see also "Additional Details by the Author")

What makes the CAPE#Jacket #2 special:

• Seamless look: sleeves integrated directly
• Versatile & elegant: perfect over shirts, blouses or dresses
• Cozy & lightweight: a perfect mix for every season
• Adjustable: customize the length to your liking

Even beginners can confidently try this knitting pattern – the straight cut is wonderfully simple, and the stitch pattern looks more complex than it really is.
