When you click buy, you will be sent to the pattern builder webapp. All the features will have been selected for this design and you just need to input your measurements. You can also choose to adjust the design as you want.

Long turtleneck vest in the most beautiful hand-spun yarn.

The vest is named after the Austrian/Swedish physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968). Meitner worked with nuclear fission. She discovered the radioactive isotope protactinium-231 and was the first female professor of physics in Germany.

The vest is tight fitting. It has 6 cm ease, but with the high elasticity of the yarn it contracts nicely and therefore sits quite tightly. The rib at the armhole is only 2 cm, while the rib in the body is split in two and a full 12 cm long.

I am 168 cm. tall and my Meitner Vest has a back measurement of 60 cm. It is knitted in a super nice mix of merino and silk-mohair, both from unikoyarns on Bornholm, and both in the color purple perfect. The knitting gauge is 20 stitches and 32 rows per 10 x 10 cm on needle 4.

The vest is knitted top down. The pattern is unique and calculated to fit your measurements. The pattern is in English and will be sent as a pdf file to your e-mail.
