Halter Swimsuit-Style Vest Pattern
by Veronik Avery
Directions for this project inKnitting Classic Style, shown below. This flirty halter was inspired by the slim fit and halter shaping of the 1930s knitted bathing suit, which were the first garments to feature the stylistic lines and characteristics of the modern bathing suit. The deep V across the bust line helps narrow the shoulders and draw the eye down toward the waistline. Shown in Swish DK Eggplant (MC), Bordeaux (CC1) and Nutmeg (CC2).- Needles:
