Bondi Girl Vest Pattern
Bondi Girl Vest Pattern
The Bondi Girl Vest is the kind of piece you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again—simple, well-shaped, and easy to layer.
Inspired by the easy, relaxed feel of Bondi, this V-neck vest is worked in super bulky yarn, giving it structure and pace without overcomplicating the process.
It’s designed for knitters ready to step into garment-making with a project that feels considered, but still entirely manageable.
Skill Level
Intermediate - Level 6
Suited to knitters who are comfortable with the basics and ready to take on shaping, finishing, and full garment construction in a structured way.
Construction
This vest is worked either flat or in the round to the armholes, with the upper sections completed flat.
The Bondi Girl motif is added afterwards using the duplicate stitch technique, allowing you to focus on the main construction before introducing the design detail.
Shaped decreases at the armholes and neckline create a clean, defined finish.
The neck and armhole bands are worked in rib, with stitches picked up and knitted in the round after seaming.
This also provides the option to introduce a contrasting colour.
Shoulder seams are joined using horizontal mattress stitch. If the vest is worked flat, the side seams are completed using vertical mattress stitch.
