Knitting the 1920s Sweater Vest that Changed Fashion History | Colorwork and Steeking

You may have seen bits and pieces of this project in my short videos, and now that it's finally done I can share all the details and how I ended up knitting a reproduction of a historical colorwork sweater vest, that changed the history of knitting in fashion.

The book mentioned in the video is Folk Vests: 25 Knitting Patterns & Tales From Around the World (Folk Knitting series) by Cheryl Oberle
