If you’re tossing up whether or not to get this kit, you absolutely should! The vest is cosy and warm and looks so good. It’s finally cold enough to wear it here in Melbourne. I got some more wool to knit this in pink!

This vest was such a fun project to work on! I learnt new skills such as picking up stitches and doing ribbing on sleeves and necklines. The Crocodile Rock wool is a dream to work with and glides effortlessly on the needles. I’ve bought more wool so I can make another vest! Thanks Cardigang for another beautiful project!

Lovely and cosy and knitted up quickly. Vest seems a bit larger than I anticipated even though I checked my guage. Kit had ample wool, I have a ball and a bit left over after making a medium and adding 4 rows of length (it would have been too cropped for me without the extra length).

I'm not a confident knitter, made a few holey scarves as a kid but never attempted something like this before. I was sick and this kit kept me sane for four days. It was super easy to follow the instructions and videos and I had a blast creating this vest. It's warm and soft and I love that I made it myself. Such a great sense of satisfaction.

Sizing is a bit on the large side and the explanation of the complicated V neck is hard to follow - I had to unpick mine twice, to learn. Otherwise great progress in the main sections. Maybe give less experienced people more advice on tidy edges, slip stitches and sewing pieces together to make it more neater?

Reasonably easy to follow pattern and style.
