Materials You'll Need

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to knit your own cone-pattern two needles vest:

1. Cast on:

Cast on 70 stitches using your preferred method. We recommend the long-tail cast on for this pattern.

2. Knit the hem:

Knit the first 10 rows in garter stitch (knit every row) for the hem of the vest.

3. Start the pattern:

Begin the cone pattern by knitting the first two stitches together. Then, yarn over and knit the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row, ending with a knit two together.

4. Knit the next row:

On the next row, purl across all stitches.

5. Continue the pattern:

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the vest measures approximately 12 inches from the hem.

6. Shape the armholes:

Bind off 5 stitches at the beginning of the next two rows. Then, decrease one stitch at each armhole every other row until you've decreased a total of 10 stitches. You should have 50 stitches remaining on your needles.

7. Knit the back:

Knit the next 20 stitches for the back of the vest in garter stitch, leaving the remaining 30 stitches on hold for the front of the vest.

8. Shape the neckline:

Knit 10 stitches for the back of the neck, bind off the center 30 stitches, and knit the final 10 stitches for the other side of the back of the neck.

9. Knit the front:

Pick up the 30 stitches you left on hold for the front of the vest. Knit these stitches in garter stitch for 5 rows, then begin the cone pattern again.

10. Finish the armholes:

Repeat step 6 for the armholes on the front of the vest.

11. Knit the hem:

Knit the last 10 rows of the vest in garter stitch to match the hem at the beginning.

12. Bind off:

Bind off all stitches and weave in any loose ends with your tapestry needle.
