Generalife Vest by Beagle Knits inside The Sewing Box 10
ABOUT THE GENERALIFE VEST
This vest is knitted bottom up in a circular pattern and through the wrong side of the work. When reaching the armholes and the neck hole, you have to make a steek (a Scottish fabric cut). Finally, the shoulders have to be joined with Kitchener stitch, the steeks are cut and the ribbings of the armholes and the neck hole are worked. It is inspired by the Generalife Gardens (Granada, Spain), where its designer, Antonio, used to walk as a child with his family.
