Bondi Girl Vest Pattern - Intermediate Level 6

The SarahMo Bondi Girl Vest moves your SarahMo Knitting Journey into garment-making, introducing shaping, finishing and full garment construction in a clear and structured way.
Inspired by the easy, relaxed feel of Bondi, this V-neck vest is designed for knitters who are comfortable with the basics and ready to develop their skills through a more detailed project.

Worked in super bulky yarn, the vest grows quickly on the needles without overcomplicating the process. It can be worked either flat or in the round to the armholes, with the upper sections completed flat.

Shaped decreases create the armholes and V-neckline, while ribbed bands give the vest a clean, defined finish. The Bondi Girl motif is added afterwards using duplicate stitch, allowing you to focus on the garment construction before adding the design detail.

Introduces garment construction, armhole and V-neck shaping, picking up stitches, ribbed finishing bands, duplicate stitch and seaming techniques.

Construction 

The SarahMo Bondi Girl Vest is worked either flat or in the round to the armholes, with the upper front and back sections completed flat.

Shaped decreases are worked to form the armholes and V-neckline.

The shoulder seams are joined using horizontal mattress stitch. If the vest is worked flat, the side seams are joined using vertical mattress stitch.

Stitches are picked up around the neckline and armholes, and the ribbed bands are knitted in the round. The bands can be worked in the main colour or a contrasting colour.

The Bondi Girl motif is added after the vest has been knitted using duplicate stitch.
