Viola Vest

I bought this pattern several months ago and it waited patiently until I could get to it.  Finding the right sweater knit was part of the wait.

The pattern is Viola Vest by Swim Style Patterns  which is a great layering piece, side slits and a cute v-neck with a wide band.  I did close my side slits up, I just didn't want that much of slit.  This was a quick sew once the neck and neckband was finished.

My fabric is from Style Maker Fabrics a soft cable stripe sweater knit in Rose.    This fabric might have been to lightweight for this pattern but I do like how it turned out.

I tried it with a button up and a knit shirt, I like it best with the knit shirt
