Riggies Vest by Gudrun Johnston in Jamieson's of Shetland DK

The Riggies Vest by Gudrun Johnston is a modern woolly layer with shaped shoulders and a beautifully textured garter stitch fabric. Its clever construction creates a relaxed poncho-style slipover that feels effortless to wear while still being engaging and satisfying to knit.

This vest calls for Jamieson’s of Shetland Double Knitting, a DK-weight, 100% Shetland wool yarn that creates a light yet sturdy fabric full of warmth and character. Woolen spun with beautiful loft and stitch definition, it’s the perfect match for this timeless vest. This set includes all the yarn needed for your chosen size and colorway, tucked into a TWT Tote with a Woolly Thistle stitch marker.

This Yarn Set Includes:

• 9x-18x 25g balls of Jamieson's of Shetland DK (Quantity is based on your size selection)
• The Woolly Thistle Project Tote - Large
  
• The Woolly Thistle Stitch Marker (selection varies)
