Saoirse Sweater and Vest Pattern

Join us for our Autumn KAL

Knit from the top down with raglan shoulder shaping this is a fast sweater (or vest) to knit that is very wearable. 

This sweater is all about options, you can pick either the sweater or the vest version, and then you have two body shaping options as well as two neck options. We have used 2 very different yarns to knit samples in giving 2 variations that are both knit in the same gauge.

The KAL gives you both versions of the pattern and you will be enrolled in our video workshop for FREE when you join the KAL.

Each section of the pattern is released as a clue on the schedule given below: 

  • Clue 1: 25th September
