The School Vest Pattern

Wizard School V-Neck Vest

The Wizard School vest pattern is one of the most requested knitting patterns in Hobbie's House collection of wizard wear.

In fact, soon after we opened Hobbie's House of Wizard Wear, the vest quickly became the #1 "special customizing request" from all wizards who live in warmer climates.

Vests are a nice alternative to the long sleeved wizard school sweater when you consider that most cons take place during summer months when long sleeves are not really needed.

Our plan is to offer the knitting patterns in standard X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and XX-Large standard sizes.

This pattern is for a sleeveless V-neck vest in regular length [vests are slightly shorter than pullovers], with a ribbed band at the bottom and around the armholes. The neckband is a single ribbed band.

�2006 Hobbie's House New Style Vest The same vest pattern can be used to knit either the original school sweater vest or the *new style* school sweater vest.

The stripe pattern and it's location is slightly different for each style:

Original Style stripes are made up of an even sequence of rows in contrast colors. Add the stripe pattern to the neckband and the bottom of the vest.

*New Style* stripes are made up of a narrow/wide/narrow sequence of rows in contrast colors. Add the stripe pattern to the bottom of this v-neck vest for a garment perfectly suited to become part of the *new style* wizard school uniform.

We now know that a) vests are part of the uniform and b) the armbands are solid colored. Up until the release of the last wizard movie, vests were not known to even be a part of the school uniform.

It is a quick and easy pattern written for the beginning knitter with experience in the basic techniques. We also assume you are able to make minor adjustments to the pattern to suit your sizing preference.

Depending on the way you knit [loosely or tightly], you may need to change to larger or smaller knitting needles to achieve the gauge used in this pattern.

Please read through the entire pattern before beginning to knit and review the notes at the end of the pattern directions.

Remember that in order for your vest to be the correct size, according to the diagram, it is not the type or brand of yarn you knit with that matters, but the accuracy of the stitch and row gauge.

If you feel your gauge is somewhat off from the suggested stitch and row measurement, be sure to follow the measurements on the diagram.

Here is a Misses size 10 cardigan vest! It is the perfect compromise. Styled exactly like the long sleeve cardigan but without the sleeves. It just became a little easier to wear the complete Wizard School uniform during those blazing summer temperatures. Buy Now
