Felicia Vest
The word “felicity” means pleasure, delight, or enjoyment. We hope you take pleasure in knitting the delightful Felicia Vest, sure to give you many years of wearing enjoyment!
This lace knitting vest is worked flat in one piece to the armholes, where work is divided for fronts and back. Stitches are picked up for front bands and the shawl collar, which is shaped with short rows (explained in detail). Armhole edgings are worked and a front closure is sewn on. Our sample was knit in Peacock. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Intermediate lace knitters.
