Polperro Vest and Dress Patterns - Download

 

These garments are worked in 2 colours in a beautiful Check Stitch, inspired by the Gingham prints and the British countryside. Using a combination of Kid Silk Mohair and Merino Singles, these garments have a pretty contrast of textures, making a fun and interesting knit with a lovely finished fabric.

Both the Polperro Vest and Dress are knitted top down in the round, in the Check Stitch and the straps are added at the end using a double i-cord.
