Astra Vest

DESIGNED BY AMBAH O'BRIEN AND

KNIT BY CAROL U. IN HARRISVILLE NIGHTSHADES AND

 MANOS DEL URUGUAY MARLA

Ambah O'Brien’s Astra Vest is a close-fitting, cropped vest that pairs a dark background yarn with slip stitches in a color-shifting contrast yarn to create a shimmery, stained-glass effect. Harrisville Nightshades (80% US Cormo, 20% US wool) is a 3-ply woolen beauty that dusts a black base with hints of color while Manos del Uruguay Marla (100% Merino) has two separately dyed strands that are plied together to create unique marled skeins with beautiful colors and depth. 
 
Carol U. adds, "The Astra Vest is a lot of fun to knit, with the easy to memorize slip stitch pattern, the beautiful shifting hues of Marla, and the infinite squish of Nightshades. This vest is definitely on my 'will knit again' list!"
