Hello, my amazing friend! Our knitting pattern for you this week is our Cirro-Velum top!
Cirro-Velum is an Advanced Beginner for those knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations, including slipping stitches and a continuous I-cord.
Cirro-velum is a horizontal sheet of high cloud without much structure, possibly with a wavy under-surface, veiling the whole sky. This drapey vest is a simply textured rectangle knit horizontally. The four-row pattern repeat breaks only for armholes created by an I-cord bind-off and cast-on that duplicates the continuous I-cord borders. This seamless piece is one size fits most with three options for armhole size and placement, which may alter length and drape on individual frames.
I hope that while you’re making it you feel relaxed and at ease.
This beautiful vest is made with our Oasis Camel Silk Fingering in our Serene Hues kit for a warm and incredibly soft vest that go over any top and will keep you warm on cool nights.
We have filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work the i-cord cast off plus the kitchener stitch for this vest.. Have a look:
Also! Be sure to check out our Epicharmus video for instructions on Judy’s Magic Cast On, the i-cord cast on and the foundation rows.
This vest is knit in an easy to memorize slipped stitch pattern! The colors change every few rows to give a lovely, gradient effect.
The sample shown used approximately 1,425 yards total of Oasis Camel Silk Fingering yarn, but you can substitute another fingering weight yarn instead, if you prefer.
I hope knitting you love knitting vest as much as we loved designing it for you! Enjoy this beautiful gift of a day!

Way over my head!
Love the feel of yarn of course. But colors have exploded in the world of yarn. Chandi your dyers do an outstanding art.. Keep inventing those rainbows!
OMG!!! I wanted a challenge and boy did I get it. I’m using the Oasis fingering in Abyss and it’s a lovely rich black that will go with everything…that is if I can just figure out why my one i-cord edge isn’t rolling in. Lol. I’m still working on my swatch but I’m not giving up just yet.

I love the bulky yarn short jacket that Chandi is wearing in the video. Is the pattern for that available?
