Meander Vest is a tank top-like vest with a cable pattern suitable for many styles and situations. It is a simple garment yet the meander pattern and many details make it a very interesting piece.
The vest is also fun to knit. I believe that whoever might knit this vest will learn a new technique or two and thoroughly enjoy the process of making it.

YARN
You need 2 (2, 3, 3, 3), [3, 4, 4, 4] skeins of Gilliat from DeRerum Natura (185 m/50 g; woolen spun, French mérinos d'Arles and black Portuguese merino) or 438 (487, 550, 599, 666), [716, 779, 831, 905) m / 479 (532.5, 601.5, 655, 728.5), [783, 852, 909, 990] yds of a similar yarn. Does not include yarn needed for swatching. (see the information in the box below).
The sample is knitted with Gilliat from DeRerum Natura in the colourway Poivre.I recommend using a worsted weight yarn (preferably non-superwash and woolen spun) for this project. Alternatively, consider combining a lace-weight yarn like mohair with a sport or DK weight yarn. However, keep in mind that mohair’s fuzziness can overpower the cable pattern.Please be aware that adjusting the length of the garment or the needle size you need to achieve the stated gauge will also affect the amount of yarn needed to finish the project. |
NEEDLES
4.5 mm / US 7 circular needles with a cable of at least 80 cm / 32"
Another circular needle with a narrower tip than the main needle (cable length is not important)
GAUGE
18 sts & 26 rows = 10 cm / 4" in stockinette stitch worked both flat and in the round, after washing and blocking.
Please note that for this pattern both stitch gauge and round/row gauge is important. Your round gauge should therefore fall between25 and 27 rounds/rows. |
NOTIONS
stitch markers
one circular needle smaller than the one used for the vest
waste yarn/stitch holder
tapestry needle
blocking tools
