Designed by Ciara Doyle The Jorvik Vest is a unisex design that draws inspiration from the rich heritage of Jorvik, a Viking settlement known for it's history and cultural signific ance. This vest is perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth on a chilly winter's day. The design is heavily influenced by Aran style knitting, which is renowned for its intricate and traditional background stitches. In the Jorvik Vest pattern, these background stitches take center stage, with subtle cables used as decorative borders. A unique aspect of this design is how it brings what are often background elements into the foreground. This artistic approach results in a pattern that is ideal for showcasing a stand-out yarn, making it truly one of a kind. The Jorvik Vest is crafted from the bottom up in a single piece, and separated at the underarm to work the fronts and backs separately. The button band and sleeve bands are cleverly integrated and worked along with the main piece, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing garment.
