The Sweater with Kathleen Dames

Spring Hiatus 5 | The Sweater with Kathleen Dames


Listen Later

We are on Spring Hiatus for the

month of April. Season Two of The Sweater with Kathleen Dames will
begin in May, and we will knit the Purly Pullover
together.

 

Today we are taking a peek at my

popular A Vest for Charles and Sotherton patterns.

 

I misspoke! The vest in question

was worn by King Charles I to his beheading. See more here:

and here:

 The patterns used in my
modern interpretation include King Charles Brocade, seen in the
yoke of the original, and and XOXO pattern featured between some
welting at the bottom of the placket.

 

Sotherton was inspired by the

Sotherton estate in Mansfield Park. If you are looking for a
figure-flattering DK weight sweater, she’s it!
