Trilogy – A Knitting Magazine of Three Vests For Bigger Friends

Three clever vest tops, knitted flat, made for layering and designed with love—one for each of our bigger friends.

All three of these patterns were designed by Dorothy Jenkins, an expert knitter and member of our team. They are inspired by her own grandchildren, our customers and all the hours spent rearranging the wool room.

Thistle – Mock Houndstooth Vest

Laburnum – Fair Isle Vest

Peony – Lace Edged Vest
