The moment I felt its extraordinary softness and beautiful drape, I knew I wanted to create something simple that would let those qualities shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Suri alpaca offers a different knitting experience from mohair, I was delighted to discover that it can create equally beautiful fluffy fabrics with a little more drape and body. For me, it also has the added benefit of letting me enjoy the knitting process without feeling unwell, as I do when working with mohair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother surprise came once I finished the sample. I wore Paloma on a warm summer afternoon and found that it was light and breathable enough to wear on its own as a top. As the weather cooled, I layered it over a shirt and loved it just as much as a knitted vest. That versatility quickly made it one of those simple wardrobe pieces I know I’ll reach for again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor my sample, I used a very special yarn from my dear friend Antonella of Cosy Posy Yarn Co. Her Fluff base, a luxurious blend of Suri alpaca and silk, gives Paloma its soft, airy texture. The pattern can also be knit by holding any two lace weight yarns together, or with a single strand of DK weight yarn, giving you endless possibilities for colour and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXXS (XS, S, M, L) (XL, 2X, 3X, 4X). \u003cbr\u003eTo be worn with approx 2 - 4” \/ 5 - 10 cm positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBust Circumference: \u003cbr\u003e32¼ (36, 39½, 43, 46½) (50¼, 53¾, 57¼, 60¾)” \u003cbr\u003e82 (91, 100, 109.5, 118.5) (127.5, 136.5, 145.5, 154.5) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length to Back Neck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e20¼ (20½, 20¾, 21¾, 22¼) (23¼, 23½, 24½, 24¾)” \u003cbr\u003e51.5 (52, 52.5, 55, 56.5) (59, 59.5, 62, 63) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmhole Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8½ (8¾, 9, 9½, 10) (10¼, 10½, 10¾, 11)” \u003cbr\u003e21.5 (22, 23, 24, 25.5) (26, 26.5, 27.5, 28) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack Neck Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7 (7¼, 7¼, 7¾, 8) (8¼, 8¾, 9, 9½)” \u003cbr\u003e17.5 (18.5, 18.5, 19.5, 20.5) (21, 22, 23, 24) cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vest is worked in the round from the bottom up to underarms.
