Fern Lace Vest

Vest pattern with easy-to-knit rectangles by Natalie Wilson, iKnitiative.

This feminine vest with its basic-but-gorgeous lace pattern is a pretty retrostyled layer over a long-sleeve blouse or sweet camisole. The ribbed lower portion lends a fitted counterpoint to the drapey bodice.

Smooth, light cotton blend yarns give good results.

Gauge is 22 sts and 33 rows - 4 inchs in pattern.
