Designed by Libby Mills
Libby designed this vest after a visit to Scotland’s Outer Hebrides Islands, famous for their sheep and traditional knitting.
The stitch pattern is based on Elizabeth Lovick’s book Patterns for North Ronaldsay Yarn.Liz named the design “Blanster” after a farm on South Ronaldsay Island mentioned in early medieval documents, which is still there today.

The double thick, cuddly fabric of this unisex vest comes from a simple slipstitch rib pattern offered by Barbara Walker in A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Two design elements – slits at the hip and optional side gussets – offer three shaping alternatives for various body types. Knitters may knit the vest straight up and down, create side gussets to accommodate a larger chest measurement, or leave panels open to waistline to allow for larger hip size.
