To err is human. To arr is pirate. To arrrgyle is knitter.

Whether you are an open-seas enthusiast, vest enthusiast, or just a big fan of colorwork (Let’s face it, you’re all of the above!) this knit is for you. Arrrgyle is a fun, top-down stranded colorwork adventure. Featuring an elegant brocade motif throughout, this vest is equally suitable for pillaging, plundering, and the modern workplace.

At Lattes & Llamas we believe Reproductive Rights are Human Rights. 50% of the proceeds of all Arrrgyle patterns sold in the month of May will be donated to Planned Parenthood.

About Arrrgyle

Arrrgyle is worked flat at the shoulders and chest, with the front and back worked separately. After completing the armholes, the front and back are joined, the shoulders are seemed at the cast on, and the remainder of the body is worked in the round. The end result is that the tedious portions are finished first so that you complete the majority of the knit with a relaxing pattern repeat in the round.

Recommended Yarn: Sport or DK weight yarn (approximately 320-340 yards/100grams) in 2 sharply contrasting colors.
