Another gem from Lucy Neatby:

To quote our intrepid designer: A fine filigree of knitted strands framing carefully worked medallions of...air. Knit sideways in a single piece, to produce a half-width vest. The openings are then finished with a crochet chain and Hey Presto! - a full size vest from minimal yarn. Will suit adventurous advanced beginners and beyond.

This vest will introduce you to a wonderful new way to extend the luxury yarn you may drool over -- it requires only about 300 m or 328 yards of any \"sensual\" DK or sport weight yarn, ideally with a slight loft. We recommend an alpaca or alpaca blend. Then you will need a detail yarn, to crochet around each of the openings. You should choose a contrast of either color and/ or texture. Use a yarn of equal weight or finer -- about 240 m or about 260 yds.
