Description
Timeless. Versatile. Effortlessly wearable.
Meet Tryon Creek by Kay Hopkins, a classic cabled vest you’ll reach for season after season. Whether layered over your favorite crisp shirt, paired with jeans for a casual weekend look, or styled with a skirt for a polished finish, this piece delivers endless outfit possibilities.
The design features elegant cables that flow seamlessly from the shoulders into the hem ribbing, with a beautifully plump lateral braid at the shoulders adding both structure and style.
Knit from the top down and completely seamless, Tryon Creek is as enjoyable to make as it is to wear. Built-in structure ensures the vest keeps its shape over time, while reverse stockinette side panels make fit adjustments a breeze. Simply add increases for a little extra ease at the hips.
The pattern includes customizable finishing options:
- 2×2 ribbing for a classic look (or swap for 1×1 for simplicity)
- Several hem styles to choose from
- Length adjustments made easy—just try it on as you go!
Perfect for DK to light worsted yarns with crisp stitch definition, Tryon Creek’s clean, unisex design flatters everyone and will quickly become a favorite in any handmade wardrobe.
The instructions are both written and charted and the pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
