Olivia Sweater by Cocoknits, featuring AVFKW Flock yarn, is more than a vest, but not quite a sweater – the perfect level of commitment!
This is an easy piece to add to your wardrobe – simply throw it on over a button-down or a long-sleeve tee. There are two stitch patterns to choose from for the center panel: bobbles or YOs – your choice! Knit out of Flock, this piece will be lightweight with some added warmth – our favorite combination.
Beginning at the top of the shoulder, this piece is knit top-down, using short rows for the shoulder shaping. This piece requires absolutely no seaming!
