Foxglove Vest Foxglove Vest
As if overnight, there are more May flowers in New York City than I could possible count, and among them is the beautiful Foxglove. Its sweeping lines and delicate bloom inspired this simple stockinette stitch vest.
I’m especially excited by the intuitive way I constructed this Foxglove Vest. It just seemed to blossom in my hands! To make it, you work in one piece from the bottom up. Along the way you use short rows to shape a subtle curved hem; you graft the shawl collar stitches together at the back neck; and you tack the right front over the left front to create a pullover with the look of a casual cardigan. Thoughtfully placed neckline and armhole decreases give the finished vest a polished look.
Purl Soho’s single ply Flax Down highlights the structure of this garment, and its sumptuous alpaca, wool, and linen blend lends a gentle drape. Flax Down comes in a range of colors from soft Foxglove purples through shades of gray (and more!). I chose Lavender Opal, a new addition to our palette and a beautiful ode to spring flowers! -Laura
