The Flock Vest, designed by Andrea Mowry, is a playful take on stripes that works beautifully buttoned up as a tank or left open over your favourite t-shirts — the kind of piece you'll reach for again and again as the seasons shift.
Knit from the top down and seamlessly, the Vest begins at the back neck and grows outward with easy, intuitive shaping. Choose between two body lengths — cropped for a modern, high-waisted look, or full length for a piece that layers effortlessly over everything in your wardrobe.
For our version, we've paired the pattern with On Stage – Short Stories, our luxurious signature yarn, combining merino wool, silk, and baby camel. Soft, lightweight, and beautifully lofty, this yarn brings out every detail in the stripe play Andrea designed the vest around.
Our sample is knit in the colours Guardian of Wild Unicorns (MC), Big Blonde (CC1) and Holly & Ivy (CC2), in size 3, with a positive ease of 4" / 10 cm.
We love the heart-shaped EDELWEISS buttons, giving the vest a bit of a folkloric touch. You can purchase these buttons here.
Going for the longer version? You might want to add an extra button.
