The Monts d’Arrée vest is a sleeveless vest with a shawl collar and side slits for greater freedom of movement, making it an ideal companion for autumn walks.

The bottom borders are made from 2/3 ribbing, while the collar and armholes are constructed in shortened rows with a moss stitch pattern.
Size guide
Yardage
Suggested yarn
The vest is knitted using DK weight yarn, i.e. a skein or ball of 100 g corresponds to around 200-300 m (220-330 yds).
The yarn used to make the model is Bouclelaine’s Roussin-Alpaga DK weight, made from 80% Roussin de la Hague and 20% Alpaca. It’s a yarn made in a short circuit, allowing the fleeces from Brittany and other French departments to be valued.
