Root Beer Float Tessellated Vest by Drea Renee Knits
In answer to her many fans request for a colourful and colour work Slipover Vest, Andrea Mowry has designed a stunner. She has also designed a gorgeous pullover using the same colour work technique. We will release Kits for the pullover later in the year.
The Tessellated Vest uses three different yarns, a multicolour sport weight; a brushed fluffy sport weight and a solid sport weight which frames the little squares of colour that the knitting technique creates.
The Root Beer Float Vest uses
- Opus sport from Walcot Yarns in Goldenrod (a gorgeous mustard shade)
- Isager Silk Mohair colour no 68 ( an olive shade)*
- Schoppel Wolle, Zauberball Crazy Sock yarn no 2312 ( a riot of colour, copper, burgundy, magenta, purples and golds)
PLEASE REMEMBER YOU MUST DOUBLE UP THE SILK MOHAIR THROUGHOUT
Please also note that we have not included the Pattern in this Kit, but we have spent time putting together the colours for you to create a beautiful addition to your wardrobe
