Plaid Vest Pattern

Knit this vest with our vintage pattern. Have fun putting your spin on the classic plaid vest. Make it a matching set for yourself and your partner! Perfect for the holidays or a special event. Designed using Mary Maxim Dreamspun, a DK weight that came in 3 ply or 4 ply and offered about 75 yds per 1 oz skein at the time. The suggested gauge for 3-ply on size 2 needle was 8.5 st x 10.5 r = 1". The 4-ply was 7.5 s x 9.5 r = 1".
