Angostura
Twisted stitch v-neck vest
£8.00
- Worsted weight yarn
- Also available on Ravelry
Everyone who has seen Angostura seems surprised when I tell them it's worked in worsted weight. There's something about the delicate tracery of twisted stitches that come together in shaped cable patterns at the waist which gives the illusion of a garment worked in a much finer yarn.

CONSTRUCTION
Worked in pieces from the bottom up. Armholes and neck edged with reverse stockinette I-cord. Shaping worked into cable patterns. Twisted stitches are slipped on wrong side to make them more pronounced.
OTHER SUPPLIES
3rd needle in the same size as gauge needle for 3 needle bind off.
Scrap yarn for holding sts. -
The most important thing is to use a smooth yarn with good stitch definition. Some elasticity is needed but yarns with a percentage of inelastic fibres can be used because the twisted ribs, cables and seams help hold the shape. Watch out for yarns that split easily as the twisted cables will be harder to work. Altering the body length will require a change in the yarn required of approximately 5% per inch / 2.5cm.
