For the life of me, I cannot get the camera to get the colour of the yarn right. In real life, the colours are darker. When the snow melts, I might take it outside to see if I can a better representation.
I got the pattern from an internet site, e-pattern central. It is so simple to do, I think I am going to do another one. I have enough of the yarn to do a second.
The yarn is selfpatterning, so you get stripes as you knit and because you are decreasing in the middle of the row, you end up with a mitred square. The back is worked in two halves and seamed in the middle and then a border is done on the bottom of the back and the two fronts.
It's all knit in garter stitch, so very easy and quick to do. Now, I just need to go and get a button and this is the first finish for this year.

I really like that, it looks so unique.
What a cool pattern. It's amazing to me how that self-striping works so well. That is just a gorgeous piece.
I have that same problem with my camera all the time. It's so cold and windy that I can't try outside or whatever I'm photographing will just blow away!
Mitering offers such interesting design options. You really did get long stripes. Very nice.
I love it!!!!! Really trendy! Well done you ;-)
that's a really neat vest. i may have to give it a try. i've yet to tackle anything big for myself.
That is really effective. Thanks for explaining how it was achieved.
How cool! One never sees a good waistcoat anymore (at least in the US - it's always a "sweater vest" or some other odd name).
That's a lovely thing to have as your First Finish 2010!
I love it! The colors are gorgeous, and the construction is really neat.
That is terrific. Love the effect.
