ASHANTI Vest Pattern Kit in CLASSIC SILK by LANGYARNS
ASHANTI is a women’s knitted vest worked in CLASSIC SILK by LANGYARNS , a sport weight yarn made from 70% silk (mulberry silk) and 30% virgin wool (merino extrafine) . The traditional 3-ply twist gives the yarn a rounded cross-section, supporting clean stitch definition, while the merino content makes it more stable and easier to handle than pure silk.
The vest is designed with a button front and a clean, considered silhouette. A half brioche rib is worked at the lower edge to create gentle structure, before transitioning into a beautifully textured open triangle pattern that brings depth and lightness in equal measure. Finished with a three-button closure, ASHANTI is a wardrobe classic with refined detail.
This kit includes the LANGYARNS CLASSIC SILK required for your selected size and the original LANGYARNS FATTO A MANO 286 pattern publication featuring ASHANTI.
