Our No Sew Vest Knit Along will be starting next Friday, November 2nd. This is a great project if you hate to sew seams, would like to try making a sweater, or are just looking for a really cool project! We PROMISE, NO SEWING!
Inspired a sweater at J.Crew vest which I love, love love (it looks great with a t-shirt and jeans, under a blazer, or paired with a button down shirt)....I created this one with the same awesome fit.
In this project you will learn how to knit in the round, work on circular needles, divide for front and back, the three-needle bind off, pick up stitches, and work armhole and neck edges.
What is your favorite color?
Look at this basket of yarn and choose your favorite color. Now, don't chicken out and be practical...use THAT color to make your No Sew Vest Knit Along Project. You will be suprised how much you will wear it! I will be making mine out of Underappreciated Green....("ooooohhh, so appropriate!" I told my husband).
Vest fits women sizes: 32 (34, 36, 38, 40)"
Sizes: XSmall (Small, Medium, Large, XLarge)
You will need:
- 3 (4, 4, 5, 6) balls La Gran Mohair 90 yards/42 gr ball

Great pattern! What kind of yarn, gauge, and yardage is needed?
Can you suggest a yarn besides mohair I could sub with? (merino wool or cotton, preferably) I'm allergic to mohair. Thanks!!! It's a cute pattern, I can't wait!
Another yarn that will work well with this project is Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande. Here is a link to that page of our site: http://store.nobleknits.com/baalgrbypl.html
Thanks!

I am lovin' the knit-alongs! Thanks for sharing the great patterns:o)
Is the picture you show in the Chinese Red color? It looks orange on my computer and I like it!
Can you tell me where the actual pattern is posted? Or do we have to wait until Friday??? I wanted to see if it would be something that I could do before I get the yarn.
thanks!

Shelley,
Thanks for your comment. In a knit along the pattern is revealed bit by bit with helpful tutorials included along the way. We will be posting the first part of the project on friday. This project will be posted on a weekly basis to give you time to complete each section. Join us, it's fun and worth the wait!

Hi...is this a project that would be appropriate for a beginning knitter (like a very beginning knitter)? What skills are needed to complete it? Thanks!
Kathy,
Thanks for your inquiry. You need to know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.
We will be instructing how to knit in the round, decrease, pick up stitches and three needle bind off. This is a very good project to learn some "next step" techniques.
All the best,
Nancy
I love all those colors! Pink for me!
I am so excited about a vest, I love Pink also!! Are the sizes just the vest or is it considering a shirt underneath? new knitter just don't want to knit the wrong size, b/c I want if for ME!!
I would love to join the knitalong, but would like to look at the pattern first to be sure that it's something that I can do. Can you tell me where I can find the pattern??
Thanks!
Shelley,
Thanks for your post. The idea of a KNIT ALONG is that the pattern is revealed bit by bit and people around the world will be working on the project at the same time. Here are the basics you need to know: You need to know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.

Get ready, Friday November 2nd the pattern begins.
Happy Halloween!

This looks like an interesting project, but I'm a bit disappointed that it only goes up to XL. What about those who are a bit more curvalicious?
