{"product_id":"floks-vest","title":"Floks vest","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Floks vest grew from a simple lace motif called “cat paws”. By reimagining the lace repeats as blossoms, I transformed the motif into a field of flowers — each one nestled inside its own garter-stitch “pocket”. Romantic yet versatile, Floks can be knit in a lightweight yarn for an airy layering piece or in a chunky wool for warmth and coziness. Another charming detail — it is reversible, allowing you to choose which side speaks to you on every occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe vest is worked from the bottom up. The body is knit in the round to the armholes, where the work is divided and the front and back are completed separately in rows. The shoulders are joined using Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish. Finally, the neckline and armholes are edged with simple garter-stitch trims that complement the floral lace “pockets” and tie the design together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe pattern is written for eight sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7, 8) \u003cbr\u003ewith a finished bust circumference of \u003cbr\u003eca. 80 (93, 107, 120) (133, 147, 160, 173) cm \/\/  \u003cbr\u003e32 (37.25, 42.75, 48) (53.25, 58.75, 64, 69.25) in \u003cbr\u003eincl. ca. 5-10 cm (2-4 in) of the recommended positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBoth samples are shown in size 2 (though knit with tiny gauge difference) on a 160 cm (5’ 3”) tall model with 84 cm (33 in) bust measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor more of the finished garment measurements, please refer to the schematic provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYarn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSample 1 | \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eca. 110 (125, 140, 144) (160, 175, 190, 205) g\u003cbr\u003eor 3 (3, 3, 3) (4, 4, 4, 5) skeins \u003cbr\u003eof Le Gros Silk \u0026amp; Mohair from Biches \u0026amp; Buches, \u003cbr\u003e72% kid mohair, 28% silk, with 148 m (162 yds) in 50 g, \u003cbr\u003eshown in colourway Medium Peach;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSample 2 | \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eca. 190 (215, 240, 270) (295, 320, 345, 370) g\u003cbr\u003eor 2 (3, 3, 3) (3, 4, 4, 4) skeins \u003cbr\u003eof Soft Donegal Tweed from Studio Donegal, \u003cbr\u003e100% lambswool, with 190 m (208 yds) in 100 g, \u003cbr\u003eshown in colourway Oatmeal;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eor 361 (409, 456, 513) (561, 608, 656, 703) m \/\/ \u003cbr\u003e395 (447, 499, 561) (613, 665, 717, 769) yds \u003cbr\u003eof any other \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eworsted\/aran weight yarn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eor combination of yarns to match the gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe yardage estimation includes 5% extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeedles \u0026amp; notions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e∙ 4.5 mm (US 7) and 5.0 mm (US 8) circular needles;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e∙ spare cables, spare circular needles or scrap yarn to keep sts on hold;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e∙ at least five stitch markers, one of which removable;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e∙ a tapestry needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e∙ 15 sts \u0026amp; 26 rnds\/rows in 10 cm (4 in) on 5.0 mm (US 8) needles measured over \u003cb\u003egarter st and lace pattern \u003c\/b\u003eworked in the round and flat after blocking;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e∙ 16 sts \u0026amp; 26 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) on 4.5 mm (US 7) needles measured over \u003cb\u003egarter st\u003c\/b\u003e worked in the round after blocking (as on the neck and around armholes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAdjust the needle sizes to obtain the required gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote | \u003c\/b\u003eSample 2 is worked in size 2 with 16 sts and 27 rnds\/rows in 10 cm (4 in) as the main gauge, therefore it is more closely fitted and is slightly shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Teti's knit garden","offers":[{"title":"Knitting pattern","offer_id":54219167203666,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/9951\/4962\/files\/shop-floksvest12.jpg?v=1786355646","url":"https:\/\/tetilutsak.com\/products\/floks-vest","provider":"Teti’s knit garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
