The Field Sketchbook Vest is the perfect garment to keep you cozy when sketching en plein air! There’s just something about creating artwork outdoors with a favourite sketchbook that is that extra bit special, and this vest will be your cozy companion on every special outing. The vest features a delightful combination of cables and a simple texture, and is worked in one piece to the underarms, and then the fronts and backs are then worked separately as the armholes and V-neck are shaped. The vest also features a 2x1 ribbed button band to match the hem and the same trim is picked up and worked around the armholes, which adds interest and coziness to a garment that will be with you for many years!
