Read MoreSky Deck Cascading Knit Vest Free Knitting Pattern
/The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern is a wonderful beginner friendly pattern that can be made in any size to suit every style. The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern was originally part of the 2019 Knitcrate Bonanza of Patterns and I am so excited to now be bringing it to you for free.
It features an incredibly soft DK yarn that was part of the 2019 September Knitcrate but you can use any DK you have on hand. Just be sure to block using wet blocking and I personally block this vest aggressively to get the most out of the drape and shape.
You can add a shawl pin to the front of The Sky Deck Cascading Vest to create a closed capelet look as well.
The Sky Deck Cascading Vest Free Knitting Pattern will give you a magnificent layer as the season change and is the knit sister to the Signal Cascading Vest Free Crochet Pattern.
