Fitted 2-colour 4-ply Fairisle unisex waistcoat pattern

Level of difficulty: intermediate

This stylish 4-ply fitted waistcoat, designed by Meg Crowther, comes in 7 men’s sizes, but you could always “borrow” it for yourself!

Knitted in a two colour fairisle pattern with a plain stocking stitch back, the simple shape is easy and attractive for casual warmth, but sits perfectly under a work suit or jacket.
