Carley Vest Kit
This kit contains everything you need to knit Carley by Elisabeth Smith Knits. It features Epic, one of our favourite yarns. It's a bespoke yarn we have milled here in New Zealand.
Carley is a cardigan vest that drapes over the shoulders and is perfect for easy layering. It’s a versatile piece you can live in all year long.
Carley's simple silhouette features interesting details like an icord edge, split hem, and an exposed shoulder seam that drapes along the upper-back. It's knit bottom up, easy enough for beginner knitters but still interesting enough for the more advanced.
Needles are an optional addition.
Sizes:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7
Finished Circumference: 35 (41, 45.75, 50.25, 55, 60, 65)” / 89 (104, 116, 128, 140, 152, 165) cm
Picking Your Size: Pick a size that is approx 4-8”/10-20 cm larger than your actual bust measurement. For a more fitted silhouette, choose a size on the lower end of that scale - for a more oversized fit, choose a size on the higher end of that scale.
The designer suggests three sets of needles to make it easier when beginning the project. We include one set, as the same results can be achieved by shifting the stitches on your circular needle's cord. We also include a double pointed needle for the three needle bind off in the optional needle package.
Ravelry note: If you would like Carley placed into your Raverly account please add your Ravelry user name in an order note when you check out.
We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy. Hand-dyed yarns vary from one skein to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein.
We highly recommend getting enough yarn for your project. To encourage this, you can exchange extra skeins if they are in their original condition, thus ensuring your project will have consistency. We dye in small, project sized batches, and don’t have dye lots.
Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality, even within a batch dyed at the same time. This gives final objects depth and nuance.
With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
