TWO OF A KIND

This timeless two-piece ensemble is sure to become a staple of your warm-weather wardrobe. The classic shape and fresh shades combine to create a set that feels both fun and sophisticated – just like you!

NOTES

Twin Set is made up of a Vest and Cardigan. The Vest is made using the Shell Stitch Pattern for the Front and Back. Pieces are sewn together at the end.

The Cardigan is worked in the Catherine Wheel Stitch Pattern throughout. Both stitch patterns are written out first and referred to within each pattern.

We recommend blocking the Vest and Cardigan at the end.
