Stillhouse Vest

$8.00

Pattern has been updated for 2026 with additional sizes and details, plus a new yarn choice.

Layered, twisted lines provide eye catching detail and give a flattering centered focus to an otherwise simple vest. The bold cable looks fantastic in a chunky yarn, and this knits up in no time. I’ve had a little fun at hem, but otherwise am letting the cables and yarn steal the show here.

I’ve called it Stillhouse after a distillery I visited in Green Point, Brooklyn. I loved the name, the whisky, and the cocktails at this place - and I visited on a cold, wintry day.

Neckline options in the updated pattern include turtleneck, cowl, standing collar, and crew neck. Notes are included as well for adjusting the overall fit in a number of simple ways.

Pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round. Vest are separated into front and back at armhole and pieces knit flat to shoulder. Armhole and collar stitches are picked up and worked in the round after shoulders are seamed.

Cable instructions are both charted and written out.
