Columbine, Vest & Jacket, Sizes 40 to 58, L to 4XL, Lace, knitting pattern

Columbine is a pattern for a lace vest or cardigan and contains detailed instructions for 5 different double sizes and two different yarn weights.

Once having knit Columbine you may well find that it has become a favourite, one that you want to knit again and again. Whether you knit the vest or cardigan, don’t be surprised if you suddenly realise you have several Columbines in your wardrobe.
The lace pattern is much easier to knit than it seems. You only have to knit “holes” on every fourth row. The other three rows are just stockinette. That makes this vest or cardigan a fast and relaxing knit, not one that requires your full attention from start to finish.

Detailed instructions,10 pages, with photos, knitting chart as well as written pattern for every row.
