Sangatsu no Sango (Coral in March) — Slip Stitch Textured Vest

A vest in a pebbly stitch pattern evoking sea foam, composed only of purl and slip stitches — easy to work with no difficulties. The generous ease in width and around the armholes allows you to layer it stylishly over a dress or a roomy T-shirt without deforming their shape.

The yarn is from Chappy Yarn, a popular Japanese hand-dyer, to whom I requested my favorite color — coral red, in the image of my birthstone Coral. The resulting nuanced, semi-solid red, characteristic of hand-dyed yarns, perfectly matches the pattern. This is also an amuhibi original colorway.
