TOP TIP

When it comes to knitting

garments for summer take a

close look at the composition

of your yarn. Often a good

combination, like the cotton/

cashmere mix seen here,

creates the perfect drape for a

simple warm-weather vest.

All the sequins are sewn

onto the bottom of the

vest after all the

knitting is done
