This Tweed vest, knitted in Thomas Kvist Yarns soft Delicious Tweed, has a long flattering and warm back with a short front. The pattern is folded triangles, knitted as an expanding rib before folding, designed by Lynne Barr and well suited to this beautiful yarn with cashmere and angora. A matching cowl is a necessary accessory in my opinion. Here is the professionally photographed Tweed Vest and Cowl.
