It's a vest I designed for my Dad. It's worked in the round and uses Elizabeth Zimmermann's Kangaroo Pouch technique for the steeked v-neck and armholes. It uses 3.5mm and 4mm circular needles. I chose Drops Karisma Superwash for it as it's 100% wool, therefore suitable for steeking. It's a lovely yarn and also very reasonably priced.

Please let me know if you knit it, or if you have any feedback on it. Like I said, it's my first ever pattern, so any advice approeciated!

Well done, Sinéad! It looks absolutely gorgeous! I really like it - and am wondering if it would suit me!
Last night I designed my first sock. We'll see if it works out. :)

Sinead, it's gorgeous! What a good job you did. Congratulations! I'm definitely going to queue this one because my hubby wears vests in the winter. Bravo!
Wowie! Well done! It's a lot of work writing up a pattern so big congratulations to ya. Love the name too. AND the photos.

WHAT a handsome fella your Dad is.
Tell him he has his own Fan Club, eh?
Now to see if my sister approves the design for her hubby and we might be in business!

First of all, well done for getting your first pattern out!
The vest is gorgeous. I love the cable detail, it's really classic.
Your Dad is a fabulous model, that photo of him is great, he looks very much the dapper gent in it.
