Birdyvest

The Birdyvest is knitted seamlessly top down and worn oversized. The wrap look at the front combined with the playful all-over lace pattern make it a very special piece in your wardrobe that can still be combined in a variety of ways. Its slightly cropped length makes it a wonderful substitute for a jacket over a summer dress, or you can combine it with high-waist jeans to achieve a very classy style. Additional flexibility is provided by the different hem options; the Birdyvest can be worked as a cardigan to tie up or as a pullover with hem in rib pattern.

Measurements

Size guide

The sweater version of the vest should be knitted with a positive ease of approx. 10 - 20 cm, depending on how oversized you like it. The size is determined by the bust circumference, which is approximately 70 (76 - 86) 92 - 102 (108 - 118) 124 - 134 (140 - 150) cm.

If the vest is to be worked as a tie-up cardigan, a smaller size should be chosen with a positive ease of approx. 0 - 10 cm.

Tip: Due to the lace pattern, the sweater tends to grow. Therefore, if in doubt, choose the smaller size.
