Farro is a seamless, long vest knit all in one piece from the bottom-up and features a lace stitch pattern along the hem, front panels and top of back. Worked in the worsted-weight Berroco Ultra Alpaca, Farro is a great long layering piece with a flattering A-line silhouette. Instructions also include tips on how to shorten if you prefer a shorter length.
Lace stitch pattern is both written out as well as charted and I have a video lesson that walks you through exactly how to knit it (including how to utilize stitch markers to help you keep track of your repeats!)
