#NOELLEVEST

The Noelle Vest is a classic 1940s- inspired vest with an iconic tartan pattern.
Tartan is especially fun to play around with, as it creates a very effectful aesthetic depending on your colour choices! You can make it christmassy (like me), adjust your colours to make it fin any season you like, or go for your favorite colours for a seasonless classic!
It is worked with one strand Athena and one strand Mohair Silk held together for the main colour, and two strands Athena held together for the tartan.
The vest has a decorative faux button band, meaning it is worked in the round from the hem to the armholes.

I have used Fabel Knitwear colourways «Du Grønne Glitrende», «Nisselue», «Kakao» and «Acorn» for the green vest, and «Kakao», «Briar», «Acorn» and «Du Grønne Glitrende” for the camel vest.

A note on yarn quantity for the stripes: My testers all ended up with different quantities uses for the stripes (even when working the same size), depending on how many vertical stripes they did and what colour combination they ended up doing.  As such the above is an estimate.
