Alpaca Yarns 3307 Halo Diamond Lace Sweater or Vest

Diamond Lace Sweater or Vest – Alpaca Yarns Knitting Pattern

Delicate diamonds and soft, fluffy yarn make a lovely pairing in this versatile two-in-one pattern. Choose a long-sleeved sweater or a relaxed vest, both featuring an all-over diamond lace design, a round neckline and neat ribbed trims.

Wear the vest on its own or layered over a favourite shirt, or knit the sweater for a cosy wardrobe addition. Worked flat in pieces and seamed, this intermediate pattern combines yarn overs and decreases to create its eye-catching lace detail.
