Ramona Vest

The Ramona Vest is a sweet cropped vest that is perfect for layering! The front features a stunning group of braided cables from Norah Gaughan’s Cable Sourcebook. The combination of cables and stockinette stitch make for an engaging project and the cropped length and lack of sleeves makes for a quick knit! Knit up in Grand View Farm’s Ramona yarn, a lovely farm blend yarn available in natural tones.
