New pattern – Bouclé Cocoon Vest (with pockets!)

The new Boucle Cocoon Vest Knitting Pattern gives a whole new look to our Victorian Boucle Mohair Yarn. Inspired by dense yet soft boucle wool outerwear, this vest pairs the fuzzy texture of boucle with our lofty Victorian 2-Ply Wool Yarn for a warm and cozy layering piece.

The Boucle Cocoon Vest Knitting Pattern is a simple project that uses modular knitting techniques and incorporated i-cord edges to create its unique shape. After knitting the Back, stitches are picked up along each side to continue working the Front seamlessly (Don’t worry, there are armholes in there too!). Neck stitches are eventually bound off, and each side of the Front is shaped separately to finish. The Front pieces are then folded back and stitched in place to create the pockets.

Size: One size (44″ bust, held closed)
Gauge: 13 sts and 24 rows to 4″ in St st using size US 9 needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.

I love the texture these two yarns create, especially in the pocket area where you can see the subtle contrast between the right and wrong sides of the fabric. I chose i-cord for the edges mostly because I didn’t want to interrupt the simple, clean look – but also to provide a little bit of necessary structure. This vest can be worn a few different ways, and the color options are nearly endless. Choose the same shade for both of your yarns like I did, or mix it up for even more depth!
