I am earnestly searching for fairisle (stranded) sleeveless vest patterns. I want modern patterns because the vintage ones don't fit. I am hopeless at adapting patterns with a repeat design so I would like to go the easy route and just buy new patterns.

Can anyone help here?

Also you can add stitches on either side to make it bit bigger since this pattern is designed to be fitted.

Just food for thought... Any

Just food for thought... Any steeked fair isle sweater pattern can also be made into a vest fairly easily. Just instead of doing sleeves pick up stitches around the armhole and do a couple inches of ribbing and call it day.

Good grief - you're right! I

Good grief - you're right! I hadn't even thought about that and it's a brilliant idea. That may have just solved my problem. If anyone has information to address my original request, I'd still like to hear from them.

That's a beautiful garment. Is it knit in the round or in pieces?
