Started a new vest project this week ! Test swatch + bottom section ⛪🌿

[wipinsanity]

So I did a "Mystery Twit-A-Long" (#mysteryTAL) over on #Twitter and people seemed to have fun with it! Here's what the finished project looks like. If you'd like to make it yourself, it isn't a mystery anymore, of course, but the instructions are always available - the Twitter thread starts at https://twitter.com/wipinsanity/status/991794842354282497?s=19 Shout-out to @knittersatticstore where I got the yarn for my version! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #mkal #cowl #stripes

Your stained glass window vest is STUNNING! Are you willing to share your pattern, or its source if it's available for purchase?

Thank you ! I'm going to take the opportunity for a permanent answer post to this question since I've given the pattern in dozens of comments ever since I started posting about the project, but obviously that isn't a convenient way for people to find the information !

Tracery Vest by Kathleen Sperling aka Wipinsanity on Ravelry and on her own website

As you can see the shape of the garment itself is a bit different from what I did. The ribbing in the original makes for a nice fitted silhouette, but I'm quite short in the burst and not hourglass shaped at all, so I made some alterations. I reduced the corrugated ribbing to half of its length, and added a few rows of colourwork to close the ribbing lines into an archway pattern. Then, I added one repetition of the windows at the bottom of the pattern chart, before returning to the pattern instructions as if I'd just finished the ribbing section. I also changed the bind-off in pattern into a stretchy bind off in order to keep the armholes and neckline a little looser. I also added a central double decrease every other row for the vneck.

There you go ! Def more info than you asked for but I hope you don't mind me using your ask as a jumping-off point.

Cheers everyone !

I have not seen anything as glorious as Notre Dame torso in a minute.
